How to properly anchor images and tables in runaround text Instead in their official Youtube channel they keep posting 8 minute challenges that do not really help anyone, because they do not address fundamental problems users are having.
QuarkXpress should have noticed many users were unable to properly anchor images on their forum, simply because I noticed it and I'm sure many others did as well. It took me a week to figure this out and I did not find the solution in the QuarkXpress forums and in Youtube. How is this done? The answer is quite elaborate, but it pays off to read it all. When you add, remove or edit text before them, they will automatically move with the text to which they are anchored.

What does actually work then? In the image above this paragraph, the image and table (indicated by the red arrows) are both anchored in a full page width text area that actually does runs around them. So, these standard 'solutions' that are abundant on the Internet, will not help you one bit to get rid of this problem, which should be a basic function of any DTP program. Even when the selected image, according to the Measurements Palette, has the text running around the Item, the text continues to run below the image. The text is visible though the image when it has a transparent background because the image is placed on top of the text, while an opaque image simply hides the text that runs below it as if no wrap around image was inserted. What is wrong with this advice? The wrap option ceases to work, doing the above when the image is narrower than the width of the text that you want to wrap around it. But if you have this issue, I'm sure you will run into many instances of flawed tips when searching for an answer on the web, until you're sick of it. I don't understand why this type of advice is given over and again, because the people providing such advice must have an unresolved problem themselves or they never use this function themselves in their documents. Usually you see fuzzy answers, like cut the image after selecting it with the Item Tool, then switch to the Text Tool, place the cursor where you want to insert the image or table to be inserted and paste the object there. The Quark forums weren't very helpful (to say the least) to get this done properly and when looking on the Internet one finds out that many (newbie) users like myself struggle to get this problem solved. In QuarkXpress 2016 achieving this is a different ball game. Anchoring objects is a way to make sure that the objects in runaround text move with the related paragraph when before that paragraph text is inserted, edited (resulting in different text length) or removed.
Anchoring images and tables was no problem whatsoever. Until Adobe chose to lure its clients to use their subscription model for its programs, I used InDesign CC for desktop publications.
