Working with Floating Images

Graphics: Images and Shapes

•

If you check (turn on) Adjust Anchor When Shape Repositioned, the shape’s anchor will be
automatically moved whenever you move the shape to a different paragraph. This is illustrated
and it affect on how you work with your document in “Select floating shapes without selecting
text”
on page 175.

•

If you have resized or reshaped the image you can also choose to Restore Original Size and
Restore Original Proportions respectively.

•

You can add descriptive text to your image by choosing Add Caption To Image. This places the
image at the top of a floating text box with some text “Image Caption” selected, ready for you to
add your text.

•

Additional commands may appear at the bottom of the menu depending on what services and
additional software applications you have available.

The Shape Bounding Box

Every shape and image, regardless of whether or not it is a rectangle, has a rectangular “bounding
box” that draws around the furthest extent of the graphic’s image. When the image is selected,
Nisus Writer Pro displays it as a dotted rectangle. In addition, when not selected, you can choose to
display the Shape bounding box (and set its color) depending on how you set your Appearance
preference for Invisibles & Guides as explained on page 380. This box coincides perfectly with the
“image-selected” box and is the “invisible” indicator that there is an image.
