<p class="Paragraph">The position of the object moves in the document with the character position. In contrast to the "as character" anchor, the object does not appear as a character in the text, but its horizontal and vertical position is determined by the position of the character it has been anchored to.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">When you select an object anchored to a character, an anchor icon shows where the object is anchored on the character.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">You can anchor an object relative to a character. To do so, open the dialog used to edit objects, and select the <help:link Id="67696" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><span class="T1">Type</span></help:link> <help:switch select="System" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><help:case select="OS2">page</help:case><help:default>tab</help:default></help:switch>. If you position the object horizontally relative to a character in the <span class="T1">Position</span> area, a red vertical line appears as the reference element. When the cursor is placed before the character selected as an anchor, the line becomes the blinking text cursor.</p>
