Copy/paste the options for anchored objects

Participant ,
Feb 07, 2025 Feb 07, 2025

I am making a study guide and each question has an text box with discussion points which is an anchored object. I have to place the object and then go through all the steps to modify the options for the anchored objects... there are dozens and dozens of these objects. It would be nice if the options could be copied with the object or if a "style" of options could be made and then applied to the objects.Screenshot 2025-02-07 at 10.19.32 AM.png

1) why are you doing it as Anchored / InLined object? 

Righ, there was no image when I was replying. 

 

2) you can apply ObjectStyle to your copied object - before you copy it - you can make it as a "template" object.

Agreed. Make one selected example frame into a new object style. Then, apply that object style to the other anchored objects. All the many attributes and paragraph styles will be applied all at once.
