Adding blank pages within a PagesDoc ?

Don - having the images inline is for the exercise in learning how WP documents work. The image will then stay with the text.

Having images and other objects floating makes it possible to have them outside the text layer (outside the margins.

It seems to me you have a lot to learn about WP and PL documents. Use the PL if it works for your project.

When you have time do try to learn more about how WP documents work. The Missing Manual for iWork is a good book to read. There might be other books with exercises. But I don't want to force. Both type of documents have their place.

To make an floating image inline select it and in the Inspector palette > Wrap > Inline

When it comes to WP docs you have to forget how physicYou add and delete contents like word and objects.

As it happen I live only a 100 km from Helsingborg, which in in the very southern part of Sweden. Tell me if you come to Sweden again and we can have a snaps or two!

Here's why Layout works better than the clunky Word Processing option in Pages. Create one page in Layout and format with a textbox, headers, footers, graphics you want on each page, etc. Then instead of creating this all over again for every page, go to the thumbnails, select the one page (a yellow outline appears around it), and then go to EDIT ->Duplicate. Do this for as many pages as you think you might need for your document text. When you get the number of pages you think you'll need, then you can link the text from one page to the next by selecting the textbox and clicking on the text flow handle which you can then use to click in the next page you want the text to flow to.

Later you can move pages to any order you want in the thumbnails, by again selecting a page (yellow border will appear) and either duplicating it or dragging it to where you want it to go.

Don't think I have ignored the document you sent. I haven't but it is in such a mess I started over from scratch.

Your principal problem (not the only one) is that you have used colored textboxes as the background but you have not made them master objects (totally in the background). The colored boxes still have text wrap set on them and it is pushing text from page to page.

I'm in two minds about supplying you with the template that I have recreated.

I am certain that given your very basic knowledge and lack of dtp ability that you will rapidly mess it up again and I am not confident that you will follow the prodigious amount of instructions that I would need to give.

That, and I hate working in antediluvian measures.

It really needs a major redesign and clean up.

If you feel more comfortable working in Layout, do that. Just remove Wrap from your colored backgrounds. And use shapes for the colored boxes.

Don: If you'd like to see an example of how we use Layout to create documents, take a look at our latest magazine: goo.gl/Qq4c2

This Is very simple go to insert then sections then blank to enter a new blank page automatically
