[OBJ] appears when exporting an EPUB from Pages

Whenever I export my EPUB from Pages I noticed that a little dashed lined box with OBJ appears before my photos and before my glossary table (see attached pictures).


Anyone know the solution for this? I've tried everything I can think of, showing invisibles, getting rid of any space, making it inline with text, no inserts or text boxes or anything...


Please help!

Pages v14.0 on Sonoma 14.4.1 still throws the [OBJ] (Object Replacement Character) into exported EPUBs. Just confirmed that here, and using the free SIGIL EPUB editor, also removed that character with the Find/Replace facility in SIGIL. Not for the non-technical audience though.

Today, in Pages v14.0 and macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, and using each of a single transparent PNG or a JPG among two large paragraphs of text, I could not generate an EPUB with the embedded Object Replacement Character present. I tried all text wrap settings for the images and EPUB Reflowable and one or two-page Fixed options with embedded fonts.


I also checked if one could detect the object replacement character in Pages with the Find tool and could not.
