Hi

I have a text with headings of different width. I also have an object which I have anchored the the end of the heading. I wish to send that anchored objects to the back of the heading so that heading is visible. I have colored heading with yellow background.

IDML and PNG File attached.

@Robert at ID-Tasker Idea is good but again all the headings are not of the same size so there will always be a burden of resizing cells as per the size.

 

Here is what I did:

1. Make headings Para style with Para Rule above OR Below. Make sure you cover the heading with white background (by adjusting the Offset, Left indent, right indent value). Apply the heading style.

 

2.Assign an object style to the separator ornament.

2.Copy the object to clipboard.

3.Anchor the object to headings only using GREP Find and Replace (target headings para style only)

4.Now modify the transparency of the object and change it to overlay.

 

Thats it
