Overview  

Steps  

1. Inline images behave like characters in text and move with the paragraph.
   
2. Floating images sit above the text layer and allow wrapping and manual positioning.
   

How to position an image using presets  

1. Click the floating image.
   
2. Go to Positioning > Custom.
   
3. Choose a preset to quickly align the image to:
   
1. Center
   
2. Top / bottom
   
3. Left / right
   
4. Relative to margin, page, column, or line
   

How to custom position an image

1. Click the image.
   
2. Open Positioning > Custom > Edit.
   
3. Set:
   
1. Horizontal alignment (page, column, margin, character)
   
2. Vertical alignment (page, paragraph, margin)
   
4. Choose Absolute or Relative position.
   

1. Horizontal anchor options include Character, Column, Left margin, Right margin, Inside or outside margins and Page.
   
2. Vertical anchor options include Line, Paragraph, Page, Top / bottom margins
   

How to set image location using coordinates  

1. Open Positioning settings.
   
2. Enter:
   
1. X: distance from the anchor’s left edge
   
2. Y: distance from the anchor’s top edge
   

Additional Notes

1. Even absolute positioning does not lock an image to a fixed page. If the anchored paragraph shifts to another page, the image moves with it.
   
2. To reduce movement, anchor the image to a stable structural element such as the page or margin when possible.
