How can we improve InDesign?

Anchored Objects should be able to be sent to back so text can print above the object

It would be nice if text could print above an anchored object

        Please fix the word wrap for anchored items that must be placed near their text. Also, the alt text for anchored items , when exported to pdf, are reading at the end of the column or page. This is unacceptable for math and engineering.

        Please fix this! In STEM pubs we need to be able to place objects in precise spots and have the alt text reflect that. We also need to be able to wrap text and send anchored items to the back. Inline placement, whether above the baseline or not, does not fit the bill.

        Hi together,
        there are three types of anchored objects:
        Inline anchored, above line anchored and anchored.

        With Above Line Anchored objects text can be above the anchored object. See my screenshot uploaded to Dropbox:

        Of course it would be great if one could do that with the other two types of anchored object as well!
        So you have my vote!
