Hi there! In this video we’ll 
be talking about anchoring  

2
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,120
objects to text in InDesign, so let’s get started.

3
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,600
I already have some text here, so now I’m going 
to grab the ellipse frame tool, and make a circle,  

4
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,400
as illustrated. Let’s center-align the 
circle to this column on the right.  

5
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:33,920
Now let’s go to file, and then place, and locate 
the image on the computer, and hit open. Now  

6
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,360
suppose I want to connect this image to the second 
paragraph in a way that when I press return to  

7
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:46,000
drop the paragraph down, the image also goes down 
with it. At this point you can see when I place my  

8
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,560
cursor to the second paragraph, and press return a 
few times, the paragraph moves, but not the image,  

9
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,920
so let’s change that. Let’s click the small 
blue square on the top right of the frame,  

10
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:03,520
and without releasing the mouse drag it to the 
second paragraph. And now when I press return,  

11
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,800
the image moves with the paragraph. To release 
the anchor, just right click on the image,  

12
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:14,080
and go to ‘anchored object’, and select release, 
and it shall be disconnected from the paragraph.  

13
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:20,080
Now let’s add another element around the image, so 
grab the ellipse tool, and make an ellipse on top  

14
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:28,640
of the image. Now let’s select the color to none, 
and stroke to a color of your choice. Let’s change  

15
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:34,960
the stroke to 10 points. Actually, 10 points 
is too thick, so let’s change it to 5 points.  

16
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:42,320
Perfect! Now you see what happens when I 
click the small blue square on the frame,  

17
00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:48,000
and drop the anchor to the second paragraph, and 
when I press return, the image remains intact, but  

18
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,840
the stroke around it is linked to the paragraph, 
and that’s not what we wanted. So let’s go back,  

19
00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:01,040
and now select both the image, and the stroke, and 
group them by hitting Command G on a Mac, or Ctrl  

20
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:08,400
G on a PC, so that they become one entity. So now 
when you move them, they move together. This time  

21
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,200
when you click the small blue square on the top 
right of the frame, and drop it to the second  

22
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:20,000
paragraph, both should be anchored together. 
Let’s hit return to verify this, and there you go,  

23
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,400
we’ve successfully anchored the image, 
along with the stroke around it to the text.

24
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,600
Alright guys! That concludes our session,  

25
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:36,800
and I’m going to see you in the 
next one in just a bit, Good bye!
