music may be played only on the computer where the download occurred. Make sure
you have permission to use the files you want to add.
To open the Media Browser:
m
Click Media in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Media Browser), then choose
iPhoto, iTunes, or Movies to display the kind of files you want to use.
When you add an object to your document, you can either place it in a fixed position
on the page (called a fixed object), so that the text flows around it as you type; or
anchor it to the text (called an inline object), so that it moves with the text around it. If
you create a fixed object, you can adjust how tightly you want the text to flow around
it by adjusting the text wrap. To learn more about fixed versus inline objects, see
“Fixed Objects Versus Inline Objects” on page 124. For more information about text
wrapping, see “Wrapping Text Around an Object” on page 136.
To add an image inline with the text:
m
Place the insertion point where you want the image to appear, and then choose Insert
> Choose. Select the graphics file and click Insert.
m
Command-drag an image from the iPhoto pane of the Media Browser to where you
want it to appear in the text flow. As you drag the image over the text, the insertion
point indicates where the image will appear if you drop it.
m
Command-drag an image from the Finder to where you want it to appear in the text
flow. As you drag the image over the text, the insertion point indicates where the
