Anchored Objects

Anchored objects, in QuarkXPress, are objects that are placed inside a textbox, and behave a text elements. Usually, as is the case in the example below, the anchored object is a textbox that you wish to move (or flow) along as the text to the left changes.

Depending on the value of the [1*8d] token, the anchored textbox moves, always keeping a fixed distance from the number that has replaced the [1*8d] token.

To anchor an object in QuarkXPress:

1.	Create the object outside of the destination textbox.

2.	Switch to selection mode.

3.	Cut or copy the object to the clipboard (CTRL+X).

4.	Switch to text edit mode.

5.	Paste the object as text at the text position where you wish it to appear.

You can also insert lines and picture boxes.
