I tried to copy an article on a website and paste into Pages 14.4. All images except one came in as blue boxes with a question mark. I also tried it with Textedit 1.20 and rich text and smart links and the same thing occurred. Ifk I just copied the image I could paste that into Pages. Is there a way to copy the entire article with text and images into Pages? Also question why one image does come in, but none of the others.
Is there a way to copy the entire article with text and images into Pages? No¹.
MS Word, LibreOffice Writer, and a more limited extent, Apple TextEdit are all designed to optionally save their content into styled Web content. This gives them an edge when copy/pasting web content into them. Pages is not designed to understand web content as it has no related export function.
The degree to which the web browser converts (and browser results vary) the selected web content to Rich or plain text during a copy operation, will determine the result in Pages as it reads that Rich or plain text from the clipboard. Some images on websites are the results of pure styling and are not real images that you can copy. You may need to copy/paste individual images from websites into Pages.
¹ Using the Firefox browser, you can save a web page as a paginated PDF document. If that is one page, you can just drag and drop that into Pages. If multi-page, you can open it in Apple's Preview and then drag and drop the thumbnails directly into Pages as separate document objects. This preserves the original web page appearance.
