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

[@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!!

[@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]

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.

[@J.R.Y.]

You rock dude! Thx!

[@gavinbevan365]

Great tutorial - thanks!

[@modestoarocha4912]

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

[@akmalarief3092]

hi terry, ur video is awesome i like it. however, how do we can anchor a table. especially if my table is wider than the text frame. please help.

[@JamieTresor]

Thanks, quick down and dirty!

[@NoorMohammedDr]

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

[@abrahamgebru8919]

Thank you Terry.

[@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?

[@patkars]

Thank you so much!

[@jeansienkin]

It starts at 08:14 for people who are in a hurry...

[@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?

[@manjup3496]

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

[@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.

[@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 ruclips.net/video/4PdGShhQvJ0/видео.html

[@ozonelayerhole1371]

Thank you sir

[@shriefallam8866]

15:06
That was funny I have to admit XD

[@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.)

[@oumarsy3485]

Thanks!

[@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.

[@DylanLevine-r3q]

you rock

[@Digital-Dan]

You are my [enthusiastic if NSFW oath] hero!

[@annfarr4605]
