trouble anchoring objects

[chi wail72431016]

Good evening,

When I try to anchor an object, it tries to jump page. Please watch the movie. Thank you

It defaults to the basic anchoring settings.

Go to the anchored object settings and set the object to behave how you want it.

In addition to Eugene's good and correct tip, after you've anchored it as shown, you can force its setting off the defaults by simply dragging it back to where you want it. That said, if I wanted my anchored object to stay on the next page, I might consider entering a page break first.

I would only achor an image when i'm using flowing text. You then need to anchor the image to the textfield on the same page.

Turn on Text Threads:

If the textfield on that page doesn't need text. Insert a Column break or a page break.

HI @chi wail72431016:

I work mostly with long docs and this is something that I deal with regularly, so here is one more idea to throw in to the mix. You can create a paragraph style to hold the graphic—I called mine Anchor—and you can add the graphic as an inline graphic (a variation on an anchored frame) to the Anchor paragraph.

My Anchor style has a few things that you can't see—Leading is set to Auto, Keep with Next is set to Next Even Page (so that it stays on the left page) and I'm using an invisible paragraph rule to control the space above—along with the visible center aligment. If this is of any interest, I'm happy to elaborate.
