View anchored object markers on the page

To view anchors and their relationship to the text on the page, you can display object markers. Use any of the following methods:

  • To view the anchor markers  in the text, choose Type > Show Hidden Characters.
  • To view a dashed line from an anchor marker to its associated custom-positioned object, select the object and choose View > Show Text Threads. The thread extends from the anchor marker to the current proxy point for the anchored object.
  • To view anchor symbols  on anchored objects, choose View > Show Frame Edges. Viewing anchor symbols is helpful when determining which objects are anchored.
