Step 3:

Add Objects

The Media Browser gives you quick access to your iTunes library, your iPhoto library,

your Aperture library, and files in your Movies folder. For more information, see “The

Media Browser” on page 18.

Using Media Placeholders

The Pages templates provide media placeholders you can use to add your own images,

audio files, and movies to your documents. Although you can add these kinds of files

anywhere in a document, when you drag a file to a media placeholder, the file retains

the size and attributes of the original placeholder image.

To use a media placeholder:

m

Drag a file from the Media Browser (or the Finder) to the media placeholder;

don’t release the mouse until a blue rectangle appears around the placeholder.

To replace the file in a media placeholder, simply drag a new file onto it—you don’t

have to delete the old one first.

Images in Pages templates
are placeholders for your own
images, audio files, and movies.

Make sure a blue rectangle
appears around the media
placeholder before you release
the mouse button.
