Cannot align inline objects in Pages 5.5

Dear All,

I am trying to prepare en evoke using Pages 5.5 on my MPR. I inserted an image to the text, then selected "inline with text" option. However, after doing that I am not able to align this object, and it stays aligned to the left. I am completely new to mac world, and to be honest couldn't find a detailed answer to my problem.

I also attach the screenshot, hope it would help to describe the problem.

Cheers

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch,Early 2015), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Pages 5.5

If you change the Inline with text to Automatic, Pages will make a quasi-effort to center the image, though it stops just short of the center guideline. At least, you can click and maneuver the image with the Automatic setting. The Above and Below setting also permits centering of the image, and unless you drag the image down into the text body, it will stay where it was inserted above the current text.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. Sure, your suggestions are working like a charm.

But I need to do that alignment with the inline format, as the suggested formatting of images for an epub is the inline. So, isn't there any way to align in inline format?

An inline object works just like a character in the text so you can use a tab to align it anywhere on the Ruler.

To show the ruler hit command r and to add a tab, click on the ruler. Right click on the tab on the Ruler to change its type.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the reply. Your answer works and now I can align an inline object to any position I want. Yet, when I export to epub, I still get incorrectly aligned object.

Though, at least I can align inside the Pages.
