Adjusting height of images in text boxes - is it possible to sink them beneath the base line?

[ChapJackman]

Hi folks,

I've been using Publisher for a few months now, and the software (and the community) is great. For almost every scenario, there's a solution. However, I've encountered issues while inserting images as a stand-in for highlighted keywords in a text box. I need these images to be inline in text, as pinning the image will break apart the structure of the content. My issue is that -- while using the inline option -- the bottom of the image sits on the line with the text, but I want to adjust this height; sinking the image to fit in more naturally.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how best to approach this? Line spacing and moving the image doesn't seem to do anything, and loading the image in with a transparent space didn't solve it either.

Any help is hugely appreciated! Thanks.

Select the image with the text cursor and pick a negative Baseline value from the Character panel.

Edit: How impolite ... Welcome to the Affinity forums @ChapJackman!

That doesn't seem to adjust anything for the image. It can adjust the text when the box is selected, which will move the image with it, but altering the Baseline value has no affect on the image itself.

EDIT: Apologies, I misread your message. I wasn't using the text cursor, which absolutely solves the problem -- thank you!

No problem, I was about to make a video. For completeness I attach the video anyway.
