Anchored object hiding the text

Hi

 

I am setting up a book, where i want to anchor some objects to the text. I need to do the custom setting as it shall not align with the text but fill out a whole page. I have put textwrap on the group that is to be anchored. But it is hiding the text above the point where i anchored it in the text.

 

How can I prevent this??

 

  

 

 

Kind regards Lisbet

Hi Lisbet,

that's exactly how it is designed by the developers: Text wrap will work after the line with the anchor character.

If you want to change that you have to release the anchored object with the wrap.

I can't help but wonder what kind of performance hit would be involved in a feature like that.

The text recomposing could be really slow.

Select the text frame to which you've anchored the group and go to the Text Frame Options dialog (Object>Text Frame Options) and make sure that "Ignore Text Wrap" is checked.

Dear Bill. 

I'm sorry if i was unclear. I want the text to wrap.. it does also but only from the point where the anchormark is put into the text.
