Is there a quick and easy way to copy and paste a phto off the internet into Pages without first saving in I photo and inserting via media button.
on Ms publisher it was much easier

If you right-click (two-finger tap) on an actual image (not flash image) from a web site, and near the bottom of the contextual menu, there is a copy image menu item, then do so, and then paste into your document. The image will only be 72 dpi.
Just because you can do this, does not give you image ownership or usage rights. The website log will show the IP address of where the image was copied too.
It works just the same on the Mac, but images can be encoded in many different ways in the browser, sometimes, not being copyable, or copying along with extra formatting and text.
Click on the image and go Open Image in New Window then try to copy that, often it has less or no formatting.
You can also try dragging the image to the desktop first then dragging it into Pages.
I do not want to contradict Viking, but the image will be whatever resolution it was in the browser.

The one time that I do not test something, and make an assumption, and Peter catches it. 😉
The copy image from the contextual menu and pasting into Pages does retain its original resolution. The same as if you drag/drop the image to the Desktop, or directly into Pages.
We keep each other on our toes. 😀

Do you still have Grab? My fave for getting pix. I haven't got pages, so I don't know how easy it would be to save a grabbed image to it, give it a try?
You simply don't need Grab. It's fairly pointless when you can capture whatever you want directly.

Grab is an extra, unnecessary step. It is there to appease Windows users. 😉
OS X provides several keyboard shortcuts that allow you to capture a window or a selected image, and either write it to the Desktop, or send it directly to the clipboard, from where the image can be pasted.
See System Preferences ▸ Keyboard ▸ Shortcuts ▸ Screen Shots. Hold your mouse pointer over the truncated description, and a yellow, popup box will provide the entire description.
You can save the image on your Mac in any of the various ways already mentioned. But you can also drag directly from Safari into a Pages document.
