The anchor symbol will be next to whatever the graphic is anchored to When you've got your graphic in position, you might want to modify its position after you've seen it in place with the text. Now it would be useful to see what the graphic is positioned relative to. Behind the scenes, when you position a floating graphic, Word is 'anchoring' the graphic relative to whatever you've positioned the graphic by (paragraph, page, and so on). For example, if you've positioned the graphic relative to a paragraph, the anchor appears at the start of the paragraph.
Even if you've positioned the graphic by dragging it where you wanted, it still has an anchor. You can move an anchor by dragging it to a different position in the document.
This will only move the anchor — not the graphic. So in the newsletter example, if you split the paragraph that the picture is anchored to into two paragraphs, the anchor is then attached to the second paragraph. You want the graphic to be positioned relative to the first paragraph, so you could drag the anchor without moving the picture.
Now you can add many new paragraphs, but the graphic remains in position anchored to the first paragraph. Tip The graphic and the anchor must be on the same page. If you add or remove text and the anchor moves to another page, the graphic will join it. So you always want to position the anchor on the page that you want the graphic to appear on. If you want to remove it If you really want to remove the anchor, you do it by selecting the object and deleting it from the document.
If you just don't want to see the anchor symbol (but you do want to keep the object), click File Options Display and uncheck the box for 'object anchors'.
Threading text in frames Now that you’ve formatted the text, you’ll add a travel article to the document. Because it’s long, not all of the article will fit on the page.
You’ll thread the text so that it flows correctly throughout the document. Placing and flowing text You’ll start by selecting an article describing the trip of travelers Judith and Clyde to Oaxaca that was saved as a Microsoft Word file. You’ll place this file on page 3 and then thread the text throughout your document.

You can drag to create a new text frame, click inside an existing frame, or click to create a new text frame within a column. You’ll add this text to a column in the lower half of page 3.
Position the loaded text icon just below the fourth guide from the bottom margin and just to the right of the left margin, and click. NOTE If the text frame is not placed properly in the left column, use the Selection tool to drag the frame handles to move the frame to the proper location. The text flows into a new frame in the lower half of the first column on page 3. When a text frame has more text than it can fit, the frame is said to have overset text. Overset text is indicated by a red plus sign ( ) in the out port of the frame, which is the small square just above the lower-right corner of the frame. You can link overset text to another frame, create a new frame into which the overset text flows, or expand the size of the frame so that the text is no longer overset.
Select the Selection tool ( ), and click the out port in the selected frame. The pointer becomes a loaded text icon. Now you’ll add a column of text to the lower half of the second column. Choose File Save. Threading text You’ll continue to thread text to the next page, because the article is long. First you will click the out port and then link to a text frame—a technique called manual threading.
You can also thread text using semi-automatic and automatic threading. Using the Selection tool ( ), click the out port in the frame that is in the second column on page 3. This prepares InDesign CS4 to flow the overset text from this text frame to another frame. In the Pages panel, double-click the page 4 icon to center page 4 in the document window.
