Let’s say I have a paragraph:
aaaaaaaa
bbbbbbbb
ccccccccc
dddddddd
And an image 0.5" below it:
:):):):)
If I want to add a row of eeeeees at the bottom of the paragraph, can I make the image automatically move down the appropriate distance? Can I do this across a whole page, with four columns, so that each object will always stay 0.5" below the one immediately above it when either is resized?
Yes. You want to embed an "Anchored Object. Here’s a video tutorial.
Thank you! That works as long as on the anchored-to object is a text box, but what about the reverse situation (anchoring a text box to a graphic?)
Basically, here is a picture of what I’m trying to do. Each chunk needs to be the same distance below the one above it, regardless of whether it’s a graphic or textbox. Is that possible?
I don’t think you’re approaching it correctly, or I don’t understand what you’re trying to accomplish.
Here is a sample of embedding images and additional text frames within a larger, multi-column text frame, which (unless I’m missing your intentions), accomplishes what I think you’re trying to do.
That’s terrific. Thank you! I will redo the layout on our project to use that system. Embedded text frames anchored to each other within a bigger one is not how I would’ve thought to do it, but it works and is much neater than a bunch of floating objects.
Thank you very much for the help 
No problem!
One thing to remember though: the anchored objects aren’t anchored to each other, but each one is anchored to it’s own specific character position within the text frame.
