Anchor dialog box

The Anchor dialog box allows you to associate particular objects with a character or paragraph in your document. For example, if you want to embed a Corel Office for Java chart in your WordPerfect for Java document, you can either associate the chart with a character or you can associate the component with an entire paragraph in the publication.

By default, an object is anchored to the baseline of the preceding character when it is inserted in your document. Select the object and choose Anchor from the Format menu to open the Anchor dialog box.
