Map a zone to an anchor

  4. Double-click the zone to map to an anchor, or right-click the zone and then click Properties.

    The Properties of Zone window is displayed.

  5. On the Properties of Zone window, select the Anchors tab.
  6. On the list of Available Anchors, select the anchor to map and click Add.

    The anchor is mapped to the zone and displayed in the list of Selected Anchors.

  7. Click Close to save your settings.

    The Properties of Zone window is closed.

  8. Open a test document and click Test to test your settings.
  9. Optionally, click Close to close the locator properties window.
  10. Save the changes to your project.
