OK, noob alert. What is the preferred way of creating text callouts so that
they are anchored to a figure, i.e., if the figure is moved down or up a few
lines, the callouts move with it?
I import a graphic by reference. I create text in a text frame selected from
the Graphics Toolbar, and
Assuming the text line is actually in the frame, click somewhere in the
frame and then right-click and Select All in Frame, or just do Ctrl-A --
that should also work if the insertion point is in the frame.
Then Graphics Group.
