Anchored object in text

[sPretzel]

Hi. Is it possible to anchor an object within text in a text frame in Illustrator? In other words, when the text reflows, the object would move along with the text.

This is for CS4. Thanks.

[Monika Gause · Accepted solution]

No.

Not even for CC.

Thanks Monika. It's weird how Adobe Suite is more of a disparate collection of software than a suite. This feature exists in InDesign.

Yes, but that's the idea of a suite: they complement each other and not copy each other.

But apart from that: this feature would totally make sense in Illustrator.

Worth to make a feature request:

Rolling eyes. . . . Nothing new for decades.

Adobe Users have been requesting Illustrator engineers to have Anchor Objects (Inline Graphics, text on a Path) just like InDesign for over a decade.

Put your request in. The more the merrier.

Some squeaky wheels get oiled, some not.

Ton, I have requested many times. Been there, Done that.

Adobe's Deaf ears.

Not even interested at this point with Adobe emails.

I searched on this page

Adobe Illustrator Feedback

for a feature request like this, but could not find it.

Asking for features on this forum is not a very good way to get the attention of the development team.

The feedback page is monitored by AI engineering and the more votes for a feature, the more likely it will get implemented.
