You add data to your chart using the Chart Data Editor. You can change the chart
style, axes, labels, and other attributes using the Chart Inspector. For more information
about creating charts, see Chapter 9, “Creating Charts.”
Converting Between Fixed and Inline Objects
An image that has been imported in line with text can be easily turned into an object
that’s fixed on the page, and vice versa. To convert between fixed and inline objects,
use the Wrap Inspector.
To convert between fixed and inline objects:
1 Choose View > Show Inspector (or click Inspector in the toolbar), and then click the
Wrap Inspector button.
2 Select the object you want to convert in the document, then do one of the following:
a To make the object inline, select “Moves with text” in the Wrap Inspector.
b To make the object fixed, select “Fixed on page” in the Wrap Inspector.
To change the way text wraps around the object, use the wrap controls in the Wrap
Inspector. For more information about text wrapping, see “Wrapping Text Around an
Object” on page 118.
Using PDF Files as Graphics
If you intend to greatly enlarge or reduce a graphic’s dimensions, consider converting
it to a PDF file before bringing it into Pages. PDF files don’t lose their crispness when
they are significantly resized. Other file types may not retain their clarity as well when
they are enlarged or reduced.
PDF files also provide a great way to move tabular data from Excel or AppleWorks
documents into Pages. If you have extensively formatted tables in Excel or an
AppleWorks spreadsheet that you want to display in your document, you can save the
spreadsheet as a PDF file and then place that PDF file on a page as you would any
other external graphic file.
To convert an Excel or AppleWorks file to a PDF file:
1 In your Excel or AppleWorks spreadsheet, select the table range you want to display in
your document.
2 Choose File > Print.
