254 Text Handling

This is an example column of text with various graphic elements hanging to the left. Each of
these is anchored to the start of a line of text immediately to its right.

It's possible to anchor any graphic object or group, including groups containing text, such
as the example side-panel, shown above. If the group consists of a single object you can
directly select that object instead of selecting the group that encloses it. Look at the
STATUS BAR and the PAGE & LAYER GALLERY to see this in action.

It's also possible to anchor objects to appear on top of, or below the text. The example
pale blue flower graphic, shown above, is anchored this way and will flow with the text.

NOTE: If an anchored object is also set to repel, only the text that the object is anchored
to is repelled.

NOTE: Repelling is restricted for repeating objects: Text inside a repeating group is only
repelled by repelling objects inside the repeating group. Individual repelling objects inside
a repeating group only repel text that is also inside the repeating group. Repeating
groups as a whole can repel any text stacked below on the page.
