I would like to know if it is possible to fix elements at their absolute position within custom elements in InDesign CS5? I created a kind of speech bubble and I would like to place a stripline within this bubble to separate two content areas. Just a little scheme to show the desired layout as Pseudo-Markup :D
<speech-bubble>
    <textbox>HEADER SECTION</textbox>
    <stripline>
    <textbox>Some other text</textbox>
</speech-bubble>
I created something like this but with two separate elements which aren't connected. So I have to select both of them in order to move the whole bubble.
Then I tried to connect them using Object->Paths->Create linked path but then the stripline moves and the HEADER SECTION moves too.
All in all I would like to have a speech bubble which can be resized in order to hold more text but it shouldn't make the HEADER_SECTION larger or move the stripline.
Hope you understand what I mean :D
Thanks in advance!
