Meaning of anchore icon for pictures.
Meaning of anchore icon for pictures.
I was unable to find proper explanation about the function of anchore icon appreaing with figures or objects. Through try and error I discovered that it is possible tochange the place of this anchore and connect this anchore to a pragraph but the layout of the page will change and object my fly to unwanted place. I think it is better to drag the anchore to closest place to object like to its caption. If there is any additional explanation regarding better usage of anchore icon, I will be very happy to hear. -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan |

Meaning of anchore icon for pictures.
Graphics and other embedded objects are 'saved' within the paragraph mark of
a specific paragraph. The anchor shows you which paragraph. The significance is --- 1. If you delete that paragraph mark, you delete the object also. 2. If you use relative positioning, the position is relative to the origin of the paragraph. 3. The object is always on the same page as the anchor. By default, Word moves the anchor automatically if you re-position the object, so that it is anchored to the nearest paragraph. This is usually, but not necessarily, the best choice. If the graphic is in a fixed position, it may be better to anchor it to some fixed text, such as the heading. There are also occasions when you want an object to appear on or under a table, but you don't want it anchored to anything within the table. You can lock the anchor so it does not move when you re-position the object. "Khoshravan" wrote in message ... Meaning of anchore icon for pictures.

Meaning of anchore icon for pictures.
Thanks a lot. It was very informative.
I can't find the anchore icon for some of my scanned objects in word. Is there any exception for anchore icon? Or should it disappear if I change its setting in format pictue. I should add this that for these objects (without anchore icon) I can't bring the format picture now. An error message pops up and says out of memory?!? -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan "Jezebel" wrote: Graphics and other embedded objects are 'saved' within the paragraph mark of a specific paragraph.

Meaning of anchore icon for pictures.
As a test, I delete the entire paragraph but the object was not deleted.
moving the pragraph also dodn't move the object with its anchore. It seams that anchore icon moves to next paragraph upon deleting the related paragraph. Only when I move the anchore from one page to another, object comes with the anchore. Am I doing something wrong or is there any specific setting in my file? -- Rasoul Khoshravan Azar Civil Engineer, Osaka, Japan "Jezebel" wrote: Graphics and other embedded objects are 'saved' within the paragraph mark of a specific paragraph.

The anchor icon appears only if the object is floating (not inline) and only
when the object is selected. Your query about the 'out of memory' message was answered elsewhere. "Khoshravan" wrote in message ... Thanks a lot. It was very informative.

Are you sure that you deleted the correct paragraph? In Word, you
create a new paragraph each time you press Enter, so it is quite possible that what appears to be one paragraph is in fact two. Press the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to display nonprinting marks; paragraph marks are displayed as ¶ symbols. As Jezebel wrote, moving the object usually also moves the anchor. You can drag the anchor to some paragraph and then lock it, to prevent it from moving: Choose Format | object. The Advanced Layout dialog box displays. In the dialog box, click the Layout tab, and then click the Advanced button. Check the "Lock anchor" option. The Advanced Layout dialog box also allows you to specify detailed placement options for the object. If you want to prevent it from moving on the page, clear the "Move with text" option. Clearing "Move with text" implies absolute positioning. Note, however, that the object will still move if you (a) cut the anchor paragraph and paste it in a different page of the document, or (b) if text edits move the anchor to the following (or previous) page. Note 1. To show object anchors: On the Tools menu, click Options. Click the View tab. Make sure that the "Object anchors" option is selected, and click OK. Word displays the anchor for the selected object. Note 2. The inital position of the anchor, as you insert a floating object, is the paragraph containing the insertion point. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Khoshravan" wrote in message ...
