Positioning options

drag the object.

Change Anchor icon: Switch between anchoring options:

• To Page - The object keeps the same position in relation to the

page margins. It does not move as you add or delete text.

• To Paragraph - The object is associated with a paragraph and

moves with the paragraph. It may be placed in the margin or

another location.

• To Character - The object is associated with a character but is not

in the text sequence. It moves with the paragraph but may be

placed in the margin or another location. This method is similar to

anchoring to a paragraph.

• As Character - The object is placed in the document like any

character and moves with the paragraph as you add or delete text

before the object.

Ungroup icon: Ungroups the selected objects, so you can manage

them individually.

Group icon: Groups the selected objects, so you can manage them as a

single object.

Using menu options

You can use some the choices on the Format menu to anchor, align,

arrange and group selected Fontwork objects, wrap text around them,

and flip them horizontally and vertically.

You can also right-click on a Fontwork object and choose many of the

same options from the pop-up menu. In addition, the pop-up menu

provides quick access to the Line, Area, Text, and Position and Size

dialogs. The Line and Area dialogs are described on pages 350 and

351. The Text dialog offers only a few options for Fontwork objects and

is not discussed here.
