in-line object
An in-line object is an object that’s placed within the flow of text; it sits on the same line as the text and moves with the text as you type. If you paste an image, image gallery, equation, shape, text box or video into a text box or shape, the pasted object is automatically placed in-line with any text in the outer (parent) object.
