Re: [libreoffice-users] Please disregard the previous messages, this is the correct link

Hi :)
I'm not used to using boxes so i am very clumsy with them.  When you "Anchor to 
character" (or paragraph) how can you select which character (or paragraph) the 
box is anchored too?  


I found that when i selected an area of text including text that was before the 
text-box then i could drag&drop the selection and the box moved.  When i 
cut&paste it didn't.  When i only selected text that followed after the text-box 
then it didn't move when i tried dragging it either.  So it seems the paragraph 
(or character) that the box is anchored to is not obvious to me and is not the 
one i would want it to be.  


Regards from
Tom :)

PS from help i found this (i don't know if the formatting will be removed, it 
probably will be messy) which doesn't really help because it's unclear what "The 
current paragraph" is ... 

 
You can use anchors to position an object, graphic, or frame in a document. An 
anchored item remains in place, or moves when you modify the document. The 
following anchoring options are available:
Anchoring Effect 
As character Anchors the selected item                  as a character in the current text. If 
the height of the selected                      item is greater than the current font size, the 
height of the line                      containing the item is increased.
To centre an image on an                        HTML page, insert the image, anchor it "as 
character",                     then centre the paragraph. 

To character Anchors the selected item                  to a character. 
To paragraph Anchors the selected item                  to the current paragraph. 
To page Anchors the selected item                       to the current page. 
To frame Anchors the selected item                      to the surrounding frame. 


When you insert an object, graphic, or frame, an anchor icon appears where the 
item is anchored. You can position an anchored item by dragging the item to 
another location. To change the anchoring options of an item, right-click the 
item, and then choose an option from the Anchor sub-menu.

What you are saying is you created a frame associated to a paragraph or word 
placement  and when that paragraph is moved, the frame stays put.  OK, how have 
you "moved" the paragraph?  Cut/paste?

The document you sent is "sparse" and I do not know what you are doing for 
moving the text.

Are you adding text to the before the paragraph, but after the frame?  Are you 
moving the paragraph to a different portion of a page that has several 
paragraphs on it?  That would help us better to answer your question.

Myself, I usually need to anchor to the page, since every time I reformat a page 
with an image on it and the image is anchored to a paragraph, the image position 
tends to move differently than I wanted - but it does move when the anchor 
paragraph is moved.

I do wonder what is the difference as anchor TO a character vs. anchor AS a 
character.
