Description rferraro 2022-12-09 18:00:25 UTC

Description:
Anchoring an image to a page is not useful if an author adds pages to the document before that page. it messes up the entire flow of the document. A user working on a chapter may want to anchor an image to a page but ensuring that does not change if the page count before that changes. So, if there is an option to "anchor to a page relative to the start of the chapter", then the user can add all the pages they want before that chapter and the image will anchor to the chapter. I am working with a 1,600 page document and there are images I want to specifically anchor to a page in that chapter but I will not be able to do that until the end. It very much fragments the work flow.

Sorry, but anchor 'To paragraph' 'To a character' 'As character' don't serve for what you want. So the image stays on the same position of the text.

Yes, I understand now. The functionality I was talking about I can see can be achieved with anchoring to paragraph or text and selecting page placement options with those. The image does stay with text if pages are inserted before. Sorry to trouble you. I do still think there may be a slight improvement to usability if it was implemented in a way similar to how I described but certainly not essential.

Thank you.
