How to Use Anchored Objects in Adobe InDesign

[@thepurpleufo]

If you want to know how to do something, skip the other videos and head straight for Terry White. He's the best.

[@reedsawyer5704]

Terry White is the AUTHORITY on all things In Design. Love this dude.

[@rdamyan3201]

Thank so much! Your teaching is great especially for me. I graduated from SCAD many years ago and the learning never stops!!

[@javiercastagnetto3219]

This is great Terry. You just saved me hours of work in a400 page book that has like 200 small photos 👍👍👍

[@starkcd]

You just saved me TONS of extra work on an ongoing project! I have to double/triple check HUNDREDS of pages to make sure pull quotes and graphics don't get misplaced in relation to my text. I hate when the client catches it before I do. That will NEVER happen again because now I have Ninja-level Anchor Object skills!

[@sallyedens2020]

I was trying to figure this out for hours. THANK YOU for doing this video!

[@GaleLeach]

Great video. I've been away from InDesign for a while and needed some help to get back into anchoring objects. You taught me things I never knew and I really appreciate it!

[@SanderFeinberg]

Another awesome video. Working on a book design and I needed this tip today. Thanks for your great teaching.

[@nova6556]

Thanks! Usable video and enjoyable learning experience!

[@thorralf]

Hi Terry - like always - well explained. I Have some document with flowchart elements anchored in a table linked by arrows that are not anchored. Is there a way to "glue" the beginning and the end to the elements at the start and the end of the arrow? Like within Visio?

[@MrYuan321]

Hi terry, thank you so much for this tutorial, I have a question about “anchor text” under the “Hyperlink”tab, what’s that? ( anchor text is one of the hyperlink options in InDesign, but I have never used it) please help. Thank you.

[@akmalarief3092]

[@NoorMohammedDr]

Hi terry .. i need help to create a layout. How to add footnotes as sidenotes anchored to the main text.

[@WinnieStandish]

Awesome, this was just what I was looking for!

[@sylviatoffoletti7553]

Is there a way to have an anchored object in the background with text going over it? I have a signature that I want anchored, but I want the text to overlap it.

[@thegotheditor]

Did you ever find a solution? I'm looking for information to find the same answer.

[@fabianarboleda7584]

Hello, I have a problem, I have white sheets in the middle of a catalog and it won't let me delete them, what it does is delete from the end and keep the ones I don't need... Do you know why? could you help me?

[@dilenadan7755]

Hii sir.. my favourite teacher yourself

[@thegotheditor]

Question: I have a book I'm formatting that requires an entire background image behind each chapter page. Is there a way to anchor that image to its respective chapter so I don't have to manually move each chapter image if I add/delete pages?

[@tomc.outdoors993]

In some of my files, the blue anchor point is missing from the image frame. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix this issue?

[@modestoarocha4912]

Thank you Terry, Until now I had not understood the anchors properly. You have my sympathy. Kiko Arocha

[@manjup3496]

Hi, in Coreldraw we get Repeat "Not Step & repeat". (Edit-> Repeat Ctrl+R), we get same option in Indesign?

[@AbigailRudner]

Thanks Terry - that was great!

[@PiPPodcast]

Hi Terry, your videos are outstanding... I can't find a video about converting an indesign document to epub (image heavy). Will you be doing one?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Ingrid K. V. Hardy thanks! this one for now kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoHHeIaenbapgJI

[@JamieTresor]

Thanks, quick down and dirty!

[@MarcoComandini]

Thanks! Great video! :)

[@palddawa]

Hello Sir, i can anchor the 1 object. how about more than one after another object for epub? as my books have up to 60 objects one after another orderly. any idea would be appreciate.

[@redaspect836]

can i write text within a picture box without creating a separate text box? appreciate your help, thanks

[@TerryLeeWhite]

A box (frame) either contains text or an image. You can put a text frame on top of an image frame if vice versa.

[@redaspect836]

@@TerryLeeWhite Can i treat a picture box as text box, ie directly typing within the image box without creating a separate text box. i hope you understood my question? thanks Terry

[@BowenDesignWorks]

FYI: "Using Anchored Objects" at beings at 11:27 (yes, 11:27 minutes of not anchoring objects.)

[@roujyard]

[@ChadCarlisle]

Fan Request: Will you do a segment on Special Characters? You know like the accent above the E in Resume? Or the squiggley line above the N in Pina Colada?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Chad Carlisle you can find them all in the Glyphs panel in the meantime.

[@ozonelayerhole1371]
