Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I want to have images in a Pages document added inline to text. When I bring in an image, it seems to be on the page rather than an inline image. I also can't seem to control where it ends up when dragged in. I drag to a paragraph down the page and it ends up somewhere else.
PS I can't open the manual in Books on an Intel iMac. Opens on M1 MBP. But I can't find any of this in the manual. But then it has no Index.

It is more informational to mention the version of Pages you are using and the current operating system version.
"Inline to text" may mean different things to different people… The Arrange panel's Text Wrap options can change how the selected image interacts with adjacent text. Pages documentation is also online: Pages - Official Apple Support
When you add images to a Pages document, their text wrap is by default set to automatic, and that causes text to flow above and below the image as you drag it around. If you set the text wrap to inline with text, the text still hugs the top and bottom of the image. When the text wrap is set to around, the text will surround the image, or if the image is margin justified, wrap around it on three sides.

Hi SCMB,
"Sorry, I wasn't clear, I meant editing a post."
Editing is allowed for a relatively short time after posting.
Click the 'down' marker at the right end of this group. Edit will be the first option, if its time window has not expired.
Regards,
Barry
This post was edited shortly after sending. The quoted line from SCMB's post was reformatted to Italics, and this note was added.

To clarify "inline with text" is Pages terminology. I understand the text wrap options, but it's how the image comes into Pages that causes confuses me.
And once I've got the Pin showing it's inline with text, how do I move it to another place in the document, in other words, to a specific place in a sentence. I don't see any indicator when I'm moving the document. If I drag text around, I get the cursor indicator to indicate where that text will end up. I expect something similar when moving an inline image.
My experience is that when I add an image, it's stuck to a place on the page, not inline.
Pages was not written to edit dropped objects on it, whether a PDF (image) scan, or any image. Pages also was not written to have the specific finesse of text and image positioning that one would appreciate in real packages such as Affinity Publisher, InDesign, Quark, or the Open Source Scribus. I suspect you will continue to experience frustration when attempting to do so.

But "Pages also was not written to have the specific finesse of text and image positioning that one would appreciate" seems to be too true. And after how many years.
And thanks for the reminder: "you will continue to experience frustration when attempting to do so."
I just don't do enough of this to warrant the cost and/or trouble of another program.
There is about a 10+ minute window for you to click on that V button in the Help button row and select Edit — before the timeout occurs and the edit menu entry disappears.
"moving the document," I meant moving the image (which in this case is a document scan).
Why isn't editing allowed?
Who knew? Well, obviously some did. Why hide this?
Just tried it and there are only two options. I think their is room to show them both.
Thank you
