Getting Started with Pages

Adding Objects

You can add objects—graphics, photos, movies, and so on—anywhere in a document

(not only in media placeholders). When you add an object to a page, it is either inline

or floating.

 Inline objects are embedded within text and move along with the text. If you want a

graphic to be part of a particular paragraph, for example, you would add it as an

inline object.

 Floating objects don’t move with text; they change position only if you drag them to a

new location.

To add a floating object:

m

Drag an image from the Media Browser or the Finder to the document.

To add an inline object:

1

Hold down the Command key while you drag an object from the Media Browser or the

Finder to the document (don’t release the mouse yet).

2

When the insertion point is at the location in the text where you want the image to

appear, release the mouse.

You can also place the insertion point within the text first, and then choose Insert >

Choose.

To resize a floating object,
drag a selection handle.
