The anchor feature in MS Word is used to lock an object, such as an image or a text box, to a specific part of the document. This ensures that the object stays in place as you add or remove text, even if the content moves around.
Here’s how to use the anchor feature:
- Insert an Object:
- Start by inserting an object, such as an image or a text box, into your document by going to the “Insert” tab.
- Anchor the Object:
- Right-click on the inserted object and select “Wrap Text” > “More Layout Options.”
- In the “Position” tab, choose “Fix position on page.” This will anchor the object to its current position.
- Move the Object:
- If you need to move the object, you can drag it to a new location. It will remain anchored relative to the text or page layout.
Anchoring objects in MS Word helps ensure your layout remains consistent, especially in documents with complex formatting or multiple images.
