Hi all,
I'm a web designer who uses indesign for creating pdf's, business documents etc. In other words, I'm not professional user of indesign. Anyway, one thing I have struggled with in the past is when adding images and graphics into indesign. The problem is that when editing a document, the text moves but that graphics don't, so it take ages editing a document with imagery and graphics.
Is there an easier way, or a proper way of doing it?
Hopefully this won't piss of professional users of inDesign.
Thanks

I would suggest that you create an image box, get your image in it, then select your box with the black arrow, and paste that box in your text box after whatever text you want. it will follow and such, but it is not very recommended.

Proper way would be to work with a good baseline grid, solids paragraph settings, images boxes with text wrap.

If you want the graphics to move...MOVE THEM!
Otherwise, be more clear about your issue.

I have a baseline grid, everything staps to that, I have global styles etc.
Just graphics I have a beef with, will try the image and text wrap

Is your text moving because its not embedded or attached/loaded properly? In Illustrator that happens a lot.

you can make your picture box an anchor and it'll follow the text, but like a previous poster said, it's not 100% reliable. You'll get unfavorable results sometimes.
if you want to know what anchors are:

use the anchor stuff as Gucci said^^

yeah I agree
use anchor if you have lots of tect and want to keep pics
in the same place, relative to the copy
