Reposition an anchored object on the page manually

Moving a frame moves its anchored objects, unless the object is positioned relative to margins or pages.
Note: Before moving an anchored object, make sure that you deselect the Prevent Manual Positioning option for the object in the Anchored Objects dialog box or choose Object > Unlock Position.
 Do one of the following:
  • To move inline anchored objects, use the Selection tool  or Direct Selection tool  to select the object, and then drag vertically. You can move inline objects vertically only, not horizontally.
    If you want to move an inline or above line object outside of the text frame, convert it to a custom-positioned object and then move it as desired.
  • To move an inline anchored object parallel to the baseline, place the insertion point before or after the object and specify a new value for kerning.

    If you want to move an inline or above line object outside of the text frame, convert it to a custom-positioned object and then move it as desired.
  • To move custom-positioned anchored objects, use the Selection tool  or Direct Selection tool  to select the object, and then drag vertically or horizontally.

You can also rotate and transform an anchored object. (See Transform objects and Rotate objects.)
