Which paragraph settings control positioning of anchored items?

Advocate ,
Nov 07, 2025 Nov 07, 2025

I'm trying to figure out how to get "clean" anchored objects when pasting - e.g. pasted a graphics frame & have it take up "paragraph space" just like a paragraph would.

In the example below, on the left, I'm pasting into the default paragraph style, and centering it.
However, when I paste into a box with text that has a Paragraph Style applied, the box no longer behaves as expected, and overlaps the content above rather than taking up the vertical space as it does on the left.

So, I'm assuming it's a setting in the paragraph style that's causing this - any ideas?
Back to experimenting...
Thanks

Hi @turner111 , Try Above Line with the anchor at the start of the paragraph below—Object>Anchor Object>Options...

Morning Rob - 

 

Thanks - I can do that, but my question really applies to objects that don't have that set, and figuring out where the difference is coming from.
In other words, the object is the same on both sides - therefore, I think it must be something in the paragraph settings:

You can save the settings I’m showing below as an Object Style.

 

Here, a selected anchored object  with the default Anchoed Object Settigs:

Thanks again - 

Already tried that. Generally it works, but there are still instances in which there is "overlap" on the top of the styled object..... which is why I'm trying to figure out what's going on somewhere else that's causing a discrepancy with the way an object is affected by paragraph styling 🙂 

I'm out for a bit but will continue my experimentation later.

Your capure is showing the anchor set to Inline not Above Line. Can you share the document?
