Anchoring objects

Use the Corel WordPerfect for Java anchoring commands to associate particular objects with a character or paragraph in your document. For example, if you want to embed a Corel Office for Java chart in your WordPerfect for Java document, you can either associate the chart with a character or you can associate the component with an entire paragraph in the publication.

Anchoring objects to characters means that the object moves with the character that it is associated with in a line of text. Anchoring objects to paragraphs means that the object moves with the entire paragraph that it is associated with in the document. When you marquee-select an area in your document to insert an object (e.g., images, components etc.), the object is automatically anchored to the preceding character on the same line as the object. Once you have inserted an object you can customize the anchoring properties in the Anchor dialog box.
