The anchor for the selected object is displayed at the upper left.
The anchor determines the page on which the object is displayed:
In older versions of TextMaker there was no anchor. Frames and drawings
always appeared on the pages on which they were inserted.
Beginning with the 2006 version of TextMaker, on the other hand, frames
and drawings are anchored. By default, the object is anchored to the beginning
of the paragraph left of the position where it was inserted.
This has the following consequence:
Important: A frame or drawing that is anchored to a paragraph always appears
on the page on which the paragraph to which it is anchored appears.
Accordingly, if you insert so much text above this paragraph the new text
forces the paragraph to the next page, the object that is anchored to this paragraph
is forced to the next page along with it.
An object’s anchor can be moved at any time. To move an object’s anchor, select
the object and then, while holding the mouse button down, drag the anchor to
another paragraph. The object will then be anchored to the new paragraph.
Tip: You can disable the above described behavior for any object, so that the object
will always remain on a specific page. To do this, select the object, invoke Object
> Properties, switch to the command dialog’s Layout property sheet, select Fix on
page in the Object group box and enter the number of the page on which you want
to fix the object.
The object is then no longer anchored to a paragraph and will remain always on the
specified page. Accordingly, when you subsequently select the object again, a nonmoveable
anchor will appear at the upper left corner of the page.
You will find information about the functions of the other anchor options on this
dialog in the section “Object properties, Layout property sheet” beginning on page
237.
