Floating Objects that move with Text

❑ By default the top left corner of any floating graphic will attach itself relative to the beginning of the paragraph under the corner.

❑ When the start of that paragraph moves, because text is inserted or deleted above it, the graphic will move as well.

❑ When the top of the paragraph goes to a new page or column the attached graphic will as well.

❑ When you drag the object to a new location it will attach to the new paragraph under it.

❑ If you delete the paragraph to which it is anchored, the floating object is deleted.

❑ If you copy a paragraph to which a graphic is anchored, the graphic is copied as well.

❑ If you lock the anchor as well, then the position on the page is locked but image will move from page to page with the paragraph.

❑ To see the anchor, show invisibles (use the show/hide button on the standard toolbar) and select the object

❑ You can not paste an anchor into a text box
