Hi everyone, I might need your advise
As you can see on screenshots, I have a list (taking the whole column) linked from InCopy file with anchored inline illustrations. Text wrapping around the bounding box is on. I want the pictures to appear next to the corresponding text (as is on picture 1). It doesn't work that way unfortunately, the images overlap as on picture 2, when text is flowing properly. The workaround was to place empty paragraphs, but there must be a better way to overcome this. The client wants the text to remain in a single, wide frame.
Any ideas?

If the boxes were inlined rather than anchored then the paragraph symbol would be to the right of the green and blue boxes. With inlined objects you could place your cursor right before the paragraph symbol that the box is attached to and use space after in the paragraph panel to add a consistent amount of space after each box. If you can move your boxes left or right then they are not inlined.
The easiest way to actually inline the boxes is to select them and shift-drag the small blue box at the top right of the selected box to the paragraph symbol at the end of the paragraph you want to inline it to. Once it is inlined you can move it up or down as the layout dictates and once it is positioned you can add space after as described above.

Thanks for your hint! It works fine, the only problem is that the document will be translated later and spacing after the paragraph would differ between language versions. Anyway thanks for reminding me that this option exists!
