Making an inline image extend beyond the left margin

Question

I had this query from a client. I don't think it can be done, but I thought I'd check with you folks first ...

Got a document with lots of inline images. sometimes, there is a bit of text on the left of the image, which the customer would like to extend out beyond the edge of the text frame. I don't see how this could be done, other than turning it into a static image and moving it. Am I right? How can an inline image extend beyond the left margin of the text frame it's sitting in?

You'd need to change it to a custom setting and set the X Offset to increase past the text frame

Once you have this done - you can make it an Object Style

Then you can apply the Object Style to the other Inline Objects - which would use the new Anchored Objects settings set in the style.

If you need to adjust the Anchored Objects - you can edit the Object Style - and all objects will alter.
