Anchored object hiding the text

[lisbetkr]

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

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. 

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.

Thank you Uwe.

Yes I think its a relevant feature.

OK, then I will just have to move the visuals manually. Im affraid to do it with anchoring then because I could risk the images are hiding some text. 😞
