242 Text Handling

Removing an anchor
To remove an anchor from an object, right click it and choose ANCHOR TO TEXT again to
disable the option. Now when you click the object in the SELECTOR TOOL or in the text in
the TEXT TOOL, the anchor symbol is no longer displayed.

Embedding Graphics

If you take a graphic, a photo or other object you can paste it "embedded" into text. You
can control how the text is formatted around embedded objects, and have the object
resize automatically according to the width of its containing text area or column. You can
also embed graphics into repeating text - like that which appears in headers and footers
and have objects anchored to repeating text too.

This is particularly useful when you have the same text content with embedded graphics
appearing in columns of different widths in multiple variants of a website. See mobile
websites (on page 325).

An embedded graphic reformatted and resized for a main (left) and mobile (right) variant.

To embed an object, copy or cut it to the clipboard, go into the Text Tool and place the
text caret at the point in the text where you want to insert it, and then paste. Now if the
object you insert is wider than the text area or text column, the object is automatically
resized down to the width of the text column. Right-click on the embedded object and
choose "EMBEDDED GRAPHIC OPTIONS..." from the context menu - or in the ARRANGE
menu.
