    Yes, oddly, moving the anchor point (with the Pan Behind Tool) does not change where the tracking animates from. But if you set the Paragraph (Ctrl 7) to Center Text (second on the right in the Paragraph Palette), then it will track from the center.

    Oddly enough it looks like the anchor point is moved to the center (that little circle with the x in it), although the numbers for anchor point don’t change.

    So use Centered Text.
