Topic: Change float with text default for jpeg

Hi All,

When I add a picture to a text frame, the anchor icon bottom right of the picture comes in with a default to float the picture with the text movement.  It has an option to change to "detach" text from the picture.  I always detach because I want to keep the picture in place in the text frame even with text changing.

I was wondering if there is way to make "detach from text" the default when inserting a picture in a text frame?  I've tried using the "update object default" with no success.

Thanks for any thoughts.  I'm using X5.

Re: Change float with text default for jpeg

Hi Walter,

I don't know whether the default can be changed, but a simple solution would be to just import the picture while the frame is not selected. It will therefore be "detached" and you can move it to wherever you wish.
