Musaffar Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Hi I'm wondering how can one insert an image into a text frame which will behave as an inline image. By Inline image, I mean it will move relative to the text around it should new text be added or removed from the text frame. It's something I very often did in Indesign but cannot get it to work in the same way in Publisher. Thanks for any insight into this. Quote
Musaffar Posted December 10, 2019 Author Posted December 10, 2019 (edited) I managed to partially find the solution to this, there is an option to make the image float with text or make it inline with text. This works, until I apply paragraph styles to the text above or below the image after which the image placement goes wildy off where it should be. Has anyone else experiences this? Attached a screen shot, the inline image overlaps the text before it. Edited December 10, 2019 by Musaffar Quote
Old Bruce Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Here are the settings I used for an image in place of a letter. It may give you some insight into what you can do with inline and pinning images.

Musaffar Posted December 10, 2019 Author Posted December 10, 2019 Hi Thanks, but how do you make the inline settings toolbox appear as you have? I can't seem to find any such settings toolbox on mine. Quote

I can't seem to find any such settings toolbox on mine. It is called Pinning for some reason. Go to View > Studio > Pinning and you can call it up. I will admit that I found it quite confusing at first and still do.

R C-R Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 FWIW, as of the versions 1.7 in all 3 Affinity apps, it is possible to create inline images in text frames using the method @carl123 mentioned in this post, like this: Inline in Text.afdesign was created completely in Designer version 1.7.3 on a Mac.

Musaffar Posted December 11, 2019 Author Posted December 11, 2019 Thanks for the feedback on this. In the end, I managed to paste the image into the desired place (just below my line of text by adjusting the offset value in the pinning toolbox. This seems like a good enough work around for now, but the placement of the pasted image does seem buggy - as show in my original screen shot - in which the image appeared inline but in the wrong place. Thanks for now Musaffar Quote
mac_heibu Posted December 11, 2019 Posted December 11, 2019 Don‘t think, it is „buggy“. Attach the Publisher file Here with only the image and the text box, and we‘ll see … Quote
