How to turn an inline object into an anchored object in InDesign


If you deal with manuals or longer technical data, InDesign's inline anchored objects are a huge time saver. Unfortunately, some people don't realize that it is possible to convert an inline graphic into a anchored object. Here are are the steps you need to take to convert an inline object into an anchored object.

  1. Select your inline object with the selection tool.
  2. Go to the Object > Anchored Object > Options menu
  3. Change the position option from "inline or above line" to "custom"
  4. Now it is an anchored object and you can freely move the graphic around the page.
