Graphics Placement Quandary

I am new to Nisus Pro, but despite having read the Help section on graphics placement, I am finding it impossible to place a graphic at the head of a paragraph with text wrapping around it. The manual says that the anchor will point to the upper left of my graphic. My anchor is pointing to the bottom center of my graphic. When printed, the graphic is not appearing where the anchor is placed, but where the image actually sits. It is impossible to nudge the graphic to the place where I want it because it immediately jumps to the previous page or the bottom of the page on which I want it.

I am assuming that this is not a WYSIWYG process, but how do you verify that your image will appear where it's supposed to? Am I supposed to be manipulating the anchor, or the image? There seems to be no logical relationship between the two?

Can anyone enlighten me? I am just not getting it. http://nisus.com/forum/posting.php?mode ... 65c8fa3304#

Thanks a lot

I am not sure I understand correctly what you did, but I think that in order for the image to be placed at a certain position within a paragraph, you should choose "move with paragraph" and then just drag it to the right position. It is , I think, WYSIWYG process. just move the image to its desired place. The behavior you describe indicates, I think, that you have 'fixed on page' selected. I hope that helps..

Ruchama is exactly right, floating graphics are WYSIWYG. Just drag it where you want, and that's where it will also print. If that's not happening then it sounds like a bug, and it would be best if you could send us the document.

The anchor just shows what piece of text the graphic is tied to. Eg: if the text changes its vertical position and/or page, then so does the graphic- depending on the float mode (paragraph vs page) you've selected.
