Working with Floating Images
You can change any inline image so that it “floats” with the text. You can make text wrap around
floating images, or you can make text appear in front of or behind them. You can fix a floating
image to stay on a particular place on a specific page, or you can make them move with a
paragraph.
!
Floating images only appear when in Page View and only in the main portion of your document’s text:
not in footnotes, endnotes, headers, footers, nor comments. If your document is set to Draft View and
you cause an inline image to float, Nisus Writer Pro switches to Page View.
Deleting shapes and floating images
You can select one or more shapes or floating images and delete them using the delete key.
However, it is possible to inadvertently delete shapes if you remove the text to which they are
attached. Displaying the Shape Anchor as explained in “The Shape Anchor” on page 157 can help
you be more aware of where your shape is attached.
!
Shapes are attached to the entire paragraph, not the first character, nor the newline
character at the end.
• You must delete the entire paragraph in order to delete the floating image.
• If you delete only the newline character that separates one paragraph with floating images
from the one above it, the images are not deleted, their anchors are merely reassigned to
the new paragraph.
If you happen to delete a paragraph that has a floating shape anchored to it the alert illustrated in
Figure 174 appears, asking:
Are you sure you want to delete the anchored shapes? One or more shapes are anchored to the
paragraphs of text that you are about to delete. Deleting those paragraphs will also delete the
associated shapes.
You can check the Do not show this message again box if you are secure in your decision.
!
You can press the Delete key when a floating shape is selected to remove it, without deleting the
anchoring paragraph.
