Group move to an anchor object?

[கற_பன___Imagine_]

Hi All,

I want to fix the Group object into Anchored Object without using the cut, paste method.  Is there any easy way to do this?

Thanks in Advance for any helps.

Regards,

I don't think there is a straightforward way to do this. See this post for a couple of ideas for workarounds.

@absqua – thank you for the link.

I'd do it by exporting the group to IDML (creating a snippet) and placing that at a certain insertion point.
You can remove the snippet file after that (there is no link between snippet and page objects).

@Nagaraj – is InDesign Server involved in your case?

In a InDesign document have the Figure with caption group object, table with title group object.  I just want to place the group objects in after the Figure/Table citation places in an Anchored format.

Using InDesgin CS5.5 desktop version.

Thanks to both of you comments.

I try the IDML options suggested by Laubender.

exporting the grouped object into InDesign snippet, then place the object into insertionPoint position.  It's works great!.

Thanks a lot.

@Nagaraj – hm, don't know exactly what you like to do.

Could you explain in two screenshots: before/after ?

Make sure that we can see guides, frame edges, hidden characters, anchors etc.

Select the group object so that  its bounds are visible.
