      I was really excited to use anchored objects in a recent project where I wanted to insert a bunch of callout text boxes peppered throughout the document layout that would reflow with it's neighboring text as I made changes. As I started using this method, I got about 4 text boxes placed, InDesign CS4 would freeze with the spinning rainbow wait cursor spinning forever. It would freeze just as I started entering settings in the “custom” anchored object dialogue window.

      I ended up just positioning the text boxes manually, and relying on text wrap settings to fine tune their poximity to neighboring text. The problem is that these boxes need to be next to related text and it was a time-consuming chore to repostion these just so EVERY TIME there were rounds of text changes.

      Anyone have this same experience? Any ideas why this was happening?

      Thanks!
