Images go behind the text and other questions

I normally position images "text over and beneath". Frequently they hide beneath the text, although I do not have a seperate layer for images (for many reasons) and even if I anchor them. "Solution": put the text box aside, work on the image, for example insert description and place text again into its position.

Why that?

Some other questions: how can I make sure that the pictures I place at the external side of my text stay at the external side, even if the text goes on and is no more on the odd/even page?

I am considering fixing the whole document (text with many styles, about 150 images, several object styles) with the script AllesSperren by  Hans Haesler, but I am afraid that in case I want to unlock everythin again with Alles Entsperren I may have troubles. Any experiences?

Oh, there are so many bugs in 2025!

If you place the pictures as an anchored object, it will move with anchor marker. If you are using facing pages in your document, if you go into Anchored Object Options & select custom & check the "Relative to Spine" box it will stay on the "external" side of the page.

Why you don't use Layers?

 

Anchored / InLined objects can't be placed on a different Layer than the parent object - TextFrame.

 

If you put object on the PasteBoard - it can't touch edge of the page. If it touches edge of the page - it belongs to that page and moves with this page.

 

If you want object to "flow with the text" - you need to Anchor / InLine this object in the text.

Here I attach a picture which makes things clearer.

Funnily enough on this page the numbering is correct, while the 4 pictures before are all "Abb. 1" .

Layers: when I did the anchoring did not work. My fault?

About numbering - I've sent you link in your another thread? 

 

Screenshots - is this in the file you are sending me in priv?
