Positioning inline graphics

You can edit the point size, paragraph spacing, word and letter spacing, baseline shift, alignment, leading, and horizontal scale of an inline graphic. To adjust type attributes, you use the Text menu, Text inspectors, or Text toolbar.

To position an inline graphic:

1

Select the inline graphic and the surrounding text.

2

Use the Text menu, Text inspectors, or Text toolbar to adjust the following type attributes:

Adjust leading at the insertion point to accommodate the graphic's height. By default, the bottom of an inline graphic is even with the text baseline.

Use kerning to move the inline graphic and the text character that immediately follows it closer together (with a negative value) or farther apart (with a positive value).

Adjust Baseline shift to move the inline graphic below (negative value) or above (positive value) the baseline of the surrounding text. Initial caps are even with the baseline of the first line of text.

To adjust a text wrap, in the Text Character inspector, choose Edit from the Effects menu, and enter values in the Run Around Selection dialog box; for more information, see Working with inline graphics.

Text wraps flush with the graphic's left edge and leaves a slight space at the right edge of the inline graphic's bounding box.
