Problem with text-wrap

[Michael J B]

Please see attached image: "Screen Shot - Not anchored". In this case the image on the left is not anchored and the text wrap applied to it works as expected on both text boxes.

However, when I anchor the image as in "Screen Shot - Anchored" the text wrap affects the righthand text box but not the one on the left.

How do I get an achored object to apply text wrap to both text boxes ?

Thanks in advance.

Yep! That bug/shortcoming has been with us since forever.

• The anchor must be above and to the left of the anchored graphic for text wrap to work correctly.
• The anchor also must be in the preceeding paragraph, not the same one where the wrap is wanted.
• And the 1sst line of the paragraph doesn't wrap the text.

Personally, I'm not holding my breath on this one. It's been a problem since the beginning of InDesign...long long ago!
