    Hello,

    I’ve seen that it is possible to anchor and object to text, but is the opposite possible?
    Or is there another way to achieve this?

    Let me explain:
    I have photos that require numbers (text) placed in the bottom or top corner of the photo. Currently, if I move or resize the photo, I have to manually reposition the numbers. I’d like to have the numbers move with the photos automatically. I couldn’t find a way to do this.

    If anyone has an idea of how to do this, I’d appreciate it.

    Thank you.
    Kevin

    Look at this amazing (and did I mention free?!) plug-in from Typefi called AutoFit:

    Thank you for the response, David.
    I installed AutoFit, but I don’t see any functions that would help me with the issue I mentioned above.

    My desire is to anchor (or link) text to a photo.

    You could use the caption function, but before you do that, you have to put the required number In a tag field of every image. So I don’t know if this is really helpful.

    Group the text frame of the numbers with the photos? Or is that thinking too simple?

    Dieter,
    Thank you. I’ll try that.

    Godfried,
    I thought about that as a possible solution. It’s not ideal but a solution none-the-less.
    Thank you.
