Art box as part of the text with 5 lines run around

I can place a art box as part of the text as long as it is placed on the top line. I need to have about five lines of text run around (Text Wrap) the art box. Reason being if copy is cut or added the art box will follow the text as placed. Does any one know of a method?

ok, indesign file here:

Dropbox - Test - 2.indd

the first wrap around worked, the two under it is as far as I got, and doesn't seem to work. only the baseline i place the cursor to place the art box is wrapping.


Hi Ken,

move the unanchored artwork into position, then apply text wrap, at this point you want to change size of the artwork or add a special amount of wrap, after that's done drag the blue* widget dot at the top of the frame to its anchor position.

Best anchor position would be after the last character in the headline formatted with "1-Brewery Name".

*the widget is blue, because your layer color is blue.

Best,
Uwe

Not sure what might have led you to a belief in that limitation, but an object can be anchored anywhere in text, and have text wrap applied. Work with anchored objects in InDesign

Tough to envision what you're talking about but is seems like you're referred to an anchored object.

reading a little about anchor point I'm that's what I need to do. But still haven't read how to get the art box to wrap. Type right now is under the art box.

You need to add text wrap to it, but please not that text wrap will never apply to the line of text that the object is anchored to. You’ll need to anchor it to one line above.
