Object properties, Layout property sheet
On the Layout property sheet, you can set the outside margins for any type of
object. For frames and drawings, you can, in addition, modify the position and the
text wrapping.
Options available:
Horizontal Position group box
These options are available only for frames and drawings.
Note: You can change the positions of objects (e.g. pictures) that have been
inserted directly into the text only by cutting them and then pasting them
elsewhere.
With frames and drawings, on the other hand, you can specify here where the
object should be placed.
Normally, all you need to do is enter the desired spacing from the left page
edge in the Offset field. For example, if you set the Offset to “2 in” the left
edge of the object will appear 2 inches from the left edge of the page. But you
can also set the alignment to be rightward, rather than leftward. If you do that,
the object’s right edge will appear 2 inches from the right page edge.
The options for Position and Relative to provide additional control over the
positioning when that is required. You can, for example, set the position relative
to the page margin, rather than to the page edge. If you do that, the object’s position
will move to the right as you widen the left margin and to the left as you
shrink it, with similar results for altering the right margin on a rightward
aligned object.
Each of the various horizontal position options is given below, together with a
description:
Position: With the Position options, you specify how the object is to be aligned:
Option
Left
Right
Effect
The object is positioned from the left. Accordingly, the
offset is from the left page edge, page margin, etc. to the
left edge of the object. For example, the object’s left
edge would appear 2 in from the left page edge.
The object is positioned from the right. For example, the
right edge of the object would appear 2 in from the right
page edge.
