Anchoring graphics
Anchors tell a graphic where to stay in relation to other items.
Anchor to page
Anchoring a graphic to the page allows it to be positioned in a specific place on
the page. The graphic does not move when cells are added or deleted. This is
equivalent to an absolute reference. The graphic will always stay by cell B10 if
that is where it is placed.
Anchor to cell
Anchoring a graphic to a cell ensures that the graphic always stays with the
content it is originally anchored to. If a graphic is anchored to cell B10, and a new
row is inserted, the graphic will then be anchored to cell B11. This is equivalent to
a relative reference.
For example, in Figure 119 the normal Otto and Tux picture is anchored To Cell B10
(XXX shows where the picture is anchored). The inverse Otto and Tux picture is
anchored to the page.
Figure 119: Anchoring 1
If two rows are inserted above the pictures, the normal picture (anchored to cell) will
shift down two rows and the anchor will change. The inverse picture (anchored to
page) will not move. This is illustrated in Figure 120. Note that the anchor symbol
and the XXX have moved down to cell B12.
