Getting Images To Stay With Text In Mac Pages
macmost.com/e-... When you add images to a word processing document in Pages, you can choose to have it stay at the exact location on that page, or move with the text. A image can then be anchored to a space in the text, or set to Inline where it acts as a character in the text.

Excellent video, I spend my free time writing but, never could figure out how to keep the images on the page I was writing instead of it moving with text…you’re a lifesaver-Thank you and keep them coming
You just saved me from pulling what's left of my hair out. Thank you!
that last bit abt how to use inline w text for pics btwn paragraphs game changer for me. could never figure out how to center a pic w the center icon option . ty!
S0 this has saved my Mac from being thrown out of the window. Thanks and thanks for all your videos. Bravo!
Incredibly helpful! Thanks for doing what you do, Gary. God bless you~
Another super-useful tutorial. I hadn't realised there were so many different ways that a picture could be anchored to the text. Thank you, Gary!
Watching again...it is so nice as I keep all of your videos in my save so I can go back and find them quickly....
Thanks for this amazing video! I just learned about Inline With Text that is exactly the option I was looking for.
Eureka! I needed this! So good and useful, good timing too as I just discovered it. This is why I watch MacMost. Thanks!
I am amazed that every video brings us new techniques and ways of doing things. I just cannot figure out where you find this wealth of knowledge, certainly not from Apple's paper instruction manuals. Most people would have their day filled in just producing the high quality videos leaving no time for extra research. I just wish I could remember half the things I learn from you 😄

Thank you so much, Highly helpful after so many many pages documents with images in them. Finally a good way to have the images stay where they should. Thanks
I am in love with you Gary! ❤ You can explain anything and make it easy to understand. And I learn so many little tips and tricks! I'm always thinking as I watch your videos, "Ooooh, THAT'S how you do it!" Now if I only had you in other areas of my life...
Fantastic tutorial. Many thanks for this.

“Fuckin’ Gary” is what I just said out loud as he revealed the secrets to exactly what I’ve been trying to figure.
Very useful thanks
You must be psychic Gary 😀 just when I needed to know this bam you made a ‘how to’ video…..thank you so much 👋🏼 🇬🇧
Thank you.
Very clear and concise, thank you. Unfortunately I was hoping to find some secret to getting "move with text" to actually work. With any document with more than a couple of images, inserting text above the image, even pages before, completely changes the image placement even when "move with text" is selected. In other words, "move with text" does not guarantee "move with text keeping the same formatting". I've added a single line and seen images jumping to the previous page or the subsequent page for no apparent reason.

Right, it is moving with the text as the text reflows as you add things. Not sure what you mean that it is not keeping the same formatting though. What formatting is changing? Maybe explore using "Inline" instead?
Thank you!!

On Mac, Pages has some fatal bugs that were absurd. Put images in the document and press the space a few times from the top, then the images are combined. No matter how many times I ask the problem to Apple service center, they don't know how to fix it and they say it's like a bug.

Hi Gary, I followed your advice to wait until the text if finished before inserting the images. But as you well know, a text is never really finished and corrections are nearly endless. When I correct a text, adding a few lines or deleting a paragraph, it is always a mess with the images that go flying everywhere except those on a full page that I have locked. Now tell me, am I at fault or is it because the commands are not 100% trustworthy. Thank you.

Thank you Gary, another excellent video. It took me years to work out what you covered in a few minutes. I still have one problem with images - how to produce a double page spread. I write in Pages, export to PDF, and publish books on Scottish history on Amazon Kindle. Sometimes it would be useful to have a double page spread photo of a castle, for example, to have a large landscape image in an otherwise portrait book. Is there any way this can be done, or do I need design software. Thanks again for you really informative videos.

Have you tried inserting the image on two consecutive pages? On the first page, display the left part of the image. On the second page, display the right side of the image? I'm imagining a coffee table book with a "centerfold", but it should work just as well in a portrait mode text-style format.
Can't thank you enough!
I've grouped multiple objects to create a chart with arrows connecting objects. Why I can't choose "move with text", this option is nit clickable for that object. I want it to move with text
Can u make a video about pages to word and keep formatting. While I converting pages to word, all the images goes to other pages

The apps do things differently, so you are always going to have issues with specific placement of items and such. If you really need layouts to look good in Word, then use Word. If you just need to distribute to people who don't have Pages, export as PDF instead.
this helps immesnsely (as do all of these helpful hints!) luv my Mac and luv pages. however, when trying to use some features... pages does not seem to be very intuitive :)

hi Gary, you helped me so much once a while back with some issues I was having with pages, I have one more quick question, do you know how I can drag 50+ images from finder into pages and then stay in line with text in the order it was in finder? image 1 image 2 image 3 etc; every time I drag and drop it doesn't stay in order, it drops and kinda turns into to a mess, is there a solution? thanks Gary, love from Brazil!
@macmost

Drag and drop them, and with them, then with them all still selected, change to Inline. But the order is the order. Rearrange as needed. Or, maybe add them one-by-one. 50 isn't that much. So it takes you 15 minutes. If that is what you need to do...
Thank your Gary, again very helpful. I have a question as regards inserting a video into a Pages document. I can do this easily enough but I would like to know when it comes to viewing the video is there a way to skip to a specific portion of that video or skip back and forth in that video or does it have to be viewed start to finish only?

awesome, thanks! coming from Word and Google Docs, this really bothered me. it’s cool that there is a way to make Pages act like them, but is there a way to have “move with text” and “inline with text” on by default for all new documents, or at the very least for all images in one document?

No. But you can always copy and paste and then swap the image. You could also just use a rectangle shape, set it like you want, and then copy and paste that. Then drag and drop the image inside the shape. Lots to experiment with to find your best workflow.
what if the object placement doesn't let you pick neither?

I am having trouble when I want to put 4 pictures that fill up the page with no text. Many times I will go back to look at it and the pictures are floating all over the place. If I put an anchor on the page I only see one anchor for all four pictures. I want them to move with the rest of my document text but they end up all over. Any fixes? Thanks

So you are trying to anchor more than one picture to the same spot? I can see how that would cause issues. Set them all to Stay With Page. Then arrange them relative to each other like you wish. Then select them all and use Arrange, Group to make them a single item. Now set that group to Move With Text. So now you just have one group anchored to the text and not four separate images.
Hi Gary, when I insert an image into a text, in 100 % of my cases I want to have it "inline with text" in its own paragraph. What I do: Place the cursor in the empty paragraph, insert the image, format it with "move with text" and "inline with text". Now the image is not in the paragraph where I have positioned the cursor so I have to cut it and then paste it into the empty paragraph where I want to place it. I see now easier way. Is there any?

Right. It warns you of the when you try to convert. The body text is a special feature of WP mode and not in PL mode at all. So when you switch from WP to PL it disappears.

It is shame for Apple that we need this kind of explanation for basic requirements.
Textwrap = None was what I searched for
This is pathetic. I'm trying to do a simple document and Pages makes the image insertion more difficult than WordPerfect. It's like 1995 all over again.
Perfect timing. I was just having trouble with images bouncing around.
Damn
