The Graphic Anchor
Figure 117
A floating graphic selected
When you select a floating graphic its “anchor” appears. This is the spot to which the graphic is
attached to your document. A dashed line appears around the perimeter of the paragraph to
which it is attached (whether the paragraph has text or not). In addition a line connects the
anchor to the upper left corner of the graphic.
You can click and drag the anchor to another location in the document thereby moving the
graphic itself. However you cannot drag the anchor across a page break.
While you can set the basic alignment of a graphic using the buttons of the Image palette, as
soon as you adjust the image by nudging it using the arrow keys, the alignment buttons
indicate that it is no longer considered “set” as far as the Image Alignment buttons are
concerned.
You can move a floating graphic so that it prints beyond the margins as illustrated in Figure
118 below.
