By
default, all annotation objects except images are attached to data
if the object is created inside the plot area. Objects that are created
outside the plot area are associated with the percent coordinate system
and are not attached to data.
For more information
about data attachment, see Understanding Annotation Concepts. You can
change the data attachment behavior of an annotation object. You can
control whether the object is attached to data and whether to crop
any portion of the object that resides outside of the plot.
To change
the data attachment behavior for an annotation object:
-
Right-click
the annotation object whose behavior you want to change and select
Annotation Properties from the pop-up menu.
-
-

is dimmed.
