Place objects with text

In a page layout document, objects are always anchored to the page. In a word-processing document, you must specify what objects are anchored to:

For both types of documents, you can also specify how text wraps around objects.

Anchor an object to the page or to text

  1. Tap the object, tap Format button, then tap Arrange.

  2. Do one of the following:

    The Arrange controls with Move to Back/Front, Move with Text, and Text Wrap
    • Fix the object on the page: Turn off Move with Text. The object stays in a fixed location on the page, and text flows around it.

    • Let the object move with text: Turn on Move with Text. The object maintains its position in relation to the text it’s anchored to.

      When you tap the object, a marker Anchor point symbol appears in the text where the object is anchored.

Wrap text around an object

  1. Tap the object, tap Format button, then tap Arrange.

  2. Tap a Wrap option:

    The Arrange controls with Move to Back/Front, Move with Text, and Text Wrap
    • Automatic: The object uses whichever text wrap option seems most appropriate for the object’s placement in relation to the page and surrounding text.

    • Around: Text flows on all sides of the object.

    • Above and Below: Text flows above and below the object but not on the sides.

    • Inline with Text: The object sits on the baseline of the text and moves with the text. If you don’t see this option, make sure Move with Text is turned on for the object.

    • None: The object doesn’t affect the flow of text.

  3. To change the amount of space between the text and the object, drag the Extra Space slider.
