Dear Team,

 

When I used the "text wrap" style with "anchor" option, the first line overlapped the background of the picture.

Could you perhaps suggest a way to have this anchor-style text wrap properly?

 

Text Wrap with anchor option applied output (wrong output):

 

I need the below output:

 

Thanks

    If you anchor it in the centre it will be in the middle.

    If you anchor it on the left it will be on the left.

     

    What do you want to do here? Re-anchor to the start of the paragraph.

    Inline anchor with max negative offset

    and then adjust it slightly

      see below the screen shot. Kindly let me know if I'm doing incorrectly.

       

       

      Thanks

        Hi @kanagakumar, I believe the problem your describe is a known issue, and I really hope someone has a better answer than mine, but I just had a play with it and got it to work by putting the photo's frame inside another text frame, which is anchored to the main text. See attached demo.indd.

        You cannot wrap the first line due to technical reasons. Developers have tried, but InDesign would come into a never ending loop and work would be impossible. Therefore you must either anchor in the previous line or not use an anchor at all. It is not a bug but a technical limitation.

        Hi @Willi Adelberger, that's interesting. Do you know what the technical limitation is? It surprises me because Indesign seems quite happy to wrap the first line around an anchored text frame (as in my example). What would be technically different about a graphic frame I wonder....

        Edit: maybe the complexities around clipping paths and wrapping shapes...
