After you insert an object (such as an image or text box) into a topic, you can adjust its positioning on the page. This can be done through styles or by using local formatting.
Following are two of the most common types of objects that can be positioned:
One way to position an object is to "float" it to the left or right on a page. When you float an object to the left, wraparound text can flow on the right side of the object. When you float an object to the right, wraparound text can flow on the left side of the object. You can also float objects outside of the frames where the normal text flow occurs.
Note: For additional details on the rules surrounding floats, see http://www.w3c.org.
Note: You can also position paragraphs and auto-numbers. See Positioning Paragraphs and Creating Auto-Number Formats for Styles.
You can turn object positioning on and off. If it is on, you can easily position the object in different places in the topic (e.g., to the right or left of the frame on a page). If it is off, the exact placement will not be seen in the editor, although it will be seen in the output. See Enabling Object Positioning.
