You can place graphic objects in AppleWorks using Cut and Paste, File > Insert or by simply dragging the graphic onto an open AppleWorks document. The graphic will be inserted as a Floating object if you are in Draw mode (arrow cursor) or as an Inline object if you are in Text mode (I-bar cursor or Insertion point).
But except for PICT files, the original resolution will not be retained. AppleWorks sees all graphics except PICT as 72 dpi images by default, a legacy from the original screen resolution of the Mac.
For further suggestions regarding images and AppleWorks, see
this thread, and Peggy's post in

It worked. Did it both ways. I dragged the photos in from iPhoto. They are JPEG.
Here's why I want to do it. I would like to bring 3 or 4 photos into Appleworks from iPhoto, arrange them so that I can print out on photo paper, and then cut them accordingly.
If I don't do that, or something like it, it appears I'm limited to one photo at a time for printing purposes. Would waste a lot of photo paper.
"I would like to bring 3 or 4 photos into Appleworks from iPhoto, arrange them so that I can print out on photo paper, and then cut them accordingly."
You might want to try importing the photos into iPhoto, selecting them, and printing from there. iPhoto has built in controls for printing 2, 4, 6, 9, 12 or 16 photos on a page. (This feature may depend on the printer and printer driver installed.)
Wow. That would be great. But how do I do that? I mean, different photos on the same page? And would they all have to be the same size? Wouldn't really matter. If it was just so many 3x5s, or 4x6s that could fit on one page...and then print out...that would be outstanding. I guess the key is different pictures.
Select 'em in iphoto and go to file>print and you should see an option for different page layouts in the print dialog. You can choose One Photo per Page which gives you a package of many prints of one image or turn that off and you get a different photo in every slot.
As Barbara said, it's possible to choose a single photo repeated or one copy each of a number of photos. The default is single copies of multiple photos. All are the same size, with the size dictated by the iumber of photos per page.
I'm having trouble selecting the different photos in iPhoto.
For example, if I want four different photos of the same size, I can click on the first...but if I try to click on the second...the first is un-highlighted.
If I click on the first photo I want, then use the shift key to get the others, it highlights a whole row, or more, of photos.
If I put, say the four photos I want in a new album, highlight them all and go to file print, it just shows one photo four times on the page.
In the print menu, the "one photo per page" is unchecked, disabled.
"If I click on the first photo I want, then use the shift key to get the others, it highlights a whole row, or more, of photos."
Click selects an item, Shift-click adds the item shift-clicked on and everything between it and the originally selected item, Command-click adds only the item on which you command-click.
Examples (using a list of six items)
To select items 1, 3 and 6: Click 1, command-click 3, command-click 6
To select items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6: Click 3, shift-click 5, command-click 1 or
To select items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6: Click 1, shift-click 6, command-click 2 or
To select items 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6: Click 1, press and hold the command key as you click 3, 4, 5 and 6.
Command-click is a toggle; using it on one item in a group of selected items deselects that item.
While these are in answer to an iPhoto question, the technique also applies to records in the AppleWorks database, and to items in other applications.
Shift-click adds or removes single items to a selection in AppleWorks Draw.
