Before resizing an anchored object, make sure that you deselect the Prevent Manual Repositioning option in the Anchored Objects dialog box.
Resizing an anchored object might also reposition the object. For example, if you’ve aligned the right side of an object to the left side of the text frame, and then you drag the object’s right side handle 1 pica to the left (away from the text frame boundary), the object will resize and then move back 1 pica to the right.
