You can convert objects from inline to fixed, and vice versa. To learn how, see
“Converting Between Fixed and Inline Objects” on page 110.
Text wraps differently around fixed and inline objects. To learn about text wrapping,
see “Wrapping Text Around an Object” on page 118.
Adding Fixed and Inline Objects
Whether you are bringing graphics into your Pages document from an external
source, or creating a shape, table, graph, or text box within Pages, you can place the
graphics in one of the two ways described above: fixed on the page or in line with
the text. The sections below describe in detail how to accomplish each of these tasks.
Importing a Graphic or Media File
Imported media files can include images, PDF files, QuickTime movies, or Flash
animations.
To add an imported file in line with the text, do one of the following:
m Drag the image from the Finder or Media Browser to the document window until you
see the insertion point at the place where you want the image to appear. A thin blue
outline also appears around the text area, indicating that the graphic will be dropped
in line. Release the image when you have placed it where you want it.
About Fixed Objects
Fixed objects are anchored to a position on a page within a document section.
Typing more text on the page does not affect the position of a fixed object, but you
can drag it to reposition it wherever you want, or resize it.
Drag any of the selection
handles to reposition or
resize fixed objects.
