Lock an image/text box/shape on another layer to keep its position?

[Jayt]

I'm very new and I'm probably doing this wrong!

I have created a text frame and autoflowed text into it over multiple pages.

I want to add images and little alert boxes of text inline.

It seems the only way to do this over a text box is to add a new layer then insert the image/shape or frame text box.

I can insert them, and wrap them so the text flows around them.

But what I want to do is lock them in place, so they stay next to the text and flow with it, so when I edit text on the text layer, the  images etc move with it and stay with the text I positioned them with.

Is there way to lock things to certain places (like anchoring?)

Thanks

See for example this thread inline vs float ...

Ah thanks.  Where is that box to select inline for an image?

Also, can a text box be made inline in another text box?

THank you, that now makes sense.
