Apple Pages 2 - Manual (Page 42)

42 Chapter 2 Creating a Document Using the Pages Templates
From Microsoft Word, you can import styles, tables (including formulas), inline and
fixed objects, charts, footnotes and endnotes, bookmarks, hyperlinks, lists, sections,
and more.
From AppleWorks, you can import lists, tables, spreadsheets, charts, inline and fixed
objects, footnotes and endnotes, bookmarks, hyperlinks, and more.
To import a media file:
m Drag the image, music, or movie file from the Finder or the Pages Media Browser
(choose View > Show Media Browser) to an open Pages document. See “Using the
Media Browser” on page 131 for instructions.
Imported media files can include images (such as those that iPhoto supports), PDF
files, QuickTime movies, or Flash animations.
Step 4: Add Graphics and Other Media
You can use a variety of media types in a Pages document, including still images,
movies, sound, drawn shapes, charts, and tables. Movies and sound can be useful if
you intend your final document to be viewed onscreen in HTML format or as a Pages
file. For a more complete list of the file types that Pages can accept, see Chapter 6,
“Working With Graphics and Other Media.”
Placing Images in Image Placeholders
The images you see in Pages templates are image placeholders. They represent the
size and placement for images that you will add to your document. You can recognize
an image placeholder by letting your pointer rest over it; a help tag appears
instructing you to drag your own image into its place.
To replace an image in an image placeholder:
m Drag the image from the Media Browser or Finder to the image placeholder.
Adding Images, Movies, and Sound Files Elsewhere in Your Document
You can add images, movies, or sound files to your Pages document by simply
dragging them from the Finder to the document window, or by dragging them from
the Media Browser. The Media Browser displays images that are stored in your iPhoto
library, sound files that are stored in your iTunes library, and movies that are located in
the Movies folder in your home folder.
