--- Comment #18 from sdc.bla...@youmail.dk --- (In reply to Telesto from comment #16) > How snap to character in paragraph exactly works is still black box to me. There is no "snap to character" in the sense of an automatic positioning/tracking in relation to the location of "to character" anchor, unless you select (in Position and Size Horizontal "to" "Character"). Positioning always depends on the positioning controls selected in the Position and Size dialog (where most of the controls are to define positions in relation to the page or the paragraph where the anchor is located, also when "to character" anchor is used). If you know where you want the image/shape positioned in relation to the anchor, then set the position with the controls and drag the anchor. The shape will "follow" and "keep" its position (as defined in the controls). > I have tendency to say, if an image is > moved by drag and drop to different paragraph, mimic the behaviour of to > paragraph, and simply but at the start of the paragraph. So skipping the - > to me arbitrary - picking of some character. In terms of positioning, "to character" and "to paragraph" anchors are almost identical, except that "to character" also offers positioning options that depend on the character (e.g., font size, padding) or line of text where the "to character" anchor is positioned. If you are not going to use those character-specific options (and do not want to move individual words with "attached" objects, as in your word "blue" with blue shape), then "to paragraph" anchor is sufficient. In general, if you approach positioning solely in terms of "drag and drop" (and never use the positioning options) (and do not have a need to link objects to individual words) then there is no reason to use "to character" anchoring. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
