Help!  Question, how do I move an image along with the text

New to InDesign and I'm creating a how-to brochure of sorts for my business and as I'm making edits/updates I realize I need to insert another picture at the beginning of the document.  I already have a bunch of other images throughout the document in specific places that need to remain with the text they are wrapped around.  If I try to insert a new picture at the beginning of the document and wrap the text, all of the text moves down throughout the document but the images do not.  That means none of the images are in the correct place anymore.  Is there a way to make sure if I insert a new picture or text at any place in the document all of the following images move with the text they are by?  I'm sure its a simple fix, I just can't figure it out.  Thanks.

Look into anchored objects.

  • How Do You Make an Image Flow with the Text?

    Hello all,
    I am using CS4 InDesign on Windows Vista. I am fairly new to Indesign but try to do my research and homework well before asking what I hope is not a really dumb question.
    I am writing a book of approx. 350 pages that is an illustrated encyclopedia of 156 plants and their oils.
    Each 2 page spread is a single entry for a plant. The graphics frames on each spread are identical in size, position and styles for a consistent look throughout the document.As you can see (hopefully) each page is a single column. See screenshot below
    In order to overcome my first problem of positioning and sizing the graphics frames uniformly, I created the master pages with the graphics placeholders sized, positioned and formatted to my liking. This worked wonderfully and I placed all of my 300+ graphics by simply over riding each frame.
    Then in my editing I decided to add another 2 page spread somewhere in the middle of this fairly large document.
    What a NIGHTMARE. The text predictably shifted but now ALL of my graphics were no longer associated with the corresponding text! Arrrgghhh.I had not anticipated this behavior (used MS Word for 15 years) or I would have done something different.
    3 hours later I finished re -"placing" the images associated with the correct text.
    I researched the help file and found out about the neccessity of anchoring graphics to text. I have read through the threads in this forum, followed links to "indesignsecrets.com/make-an-image-flow-with-the-text" and " Working with anchored objects by Anne Marie Concepcion"
    My concerns are this.
    An inline graphic places the graphic back onto your text layer for some reason ( Previously my graphics each had their own layer)
    Not wanting to start (again) from scratch with my graphics I converted them to inline/custom anchored objects.
    But to select then cut then paste every pre existing graphic to anchor it inline seems to be cumbersome and counter intuitive although the top smaller graphic did position well and the text seemed to wrap ok.
    When I placed the larger bottom graphic on the left facing page using custom positioning I was not able to get the text to wrap at all.( The in line anchoring did not seem to allow for positioning on anything but the 'Y' axis).
    It seems that there would be a simpler way to place text and graphics where you want them and have them associate and flow together (or not) when you want them to and have text wrap easily around an anchored object without keyboard gymnastics. It would seem that the concept of a certain graphic being associated or linked with certain text would not be an unusual concept in desktop publishing.
    Am I missing something?
    Can you place an anchored graphics frame on the master page with your desired options?
    How would this be done if possible?
    Is there any other way (i.e grouping) to keep graphics associated with the desired text so that it flows together if extra pages are added?
    Is the fact that my graphics frames are on my master pages responsible for my text wrap difficulty? (I have text wrap enabled on my master pages)
    Are there any settings, redundant or otherwise, I need to be aware of?
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions or directions
    L.N.

    Hello Again,
    Thank You Bob but I am still a little fuzzy on this. I have already created object styles for the graphics frames. For instance the small graphic underneath the heading (Its a drop of oil) has an object style applied. Now I checked and it has the anchored object options checked in the style dialog box. When I reapply the style to the next similar graphics nothing happens. It is still not anchored. Do I need to create a new style based on "nothing" add my effects plus the anchoring options? Basically start over. If thats what I need to do thats OK. As to your instruction that object styles could accomodate this anchoring thing...thats what I thought too but somehow I can't get it to work. See object style dialog box screenshot below:
    For the larger graphic on the bottom of the left facing page. I still cannot get any text to wrap. In the screenshot example the text describing this particular plant doesn't go to the bottom of the page so the wrapping issue on this page is moot. However I have some entries where the body of the description is more involved and does go to the bottom of the page and the text WOULD need to wrap around the plant (larger ) graphic.
    Hi there Harb, Yes I found out early on that object styles can't apply size (that would be on my wish list for sure) That is why I found that creating my graphics frames on the master page with the correct size, effects and positioning tickled me so much. Can you believe I originally went through and MANUALLY resized and repositioned each and every 300+ graphics in this book but it still wasn't right. I'm nothing if not persistent. (Now if I could just get my grown sons to pick up their socks!)
    Anyway the master page graphics frames idea would be perfect if I could get the images to anchor in their respective spots on the master page as well.
    For your second suggestion. I am not clear about why I would need to break the threads of each spread so that each spread is a seperate article. Is the threading issue the thing that is causing my text to move on leaving their associated graphics behind? If so how do I go about doing this?
    So to recap:
    1. I need to know if I can modify my object style or recreate from scratch with the anchoring option (as I said it didn't work)
    2. Can't get text to wrap around the Custom anchored graphic at bottom of page at all
    3. Im not clear on the breaking the threading on the spreads
    I am willing to go back through and start from scratch (new master pages, styles etc ) if neccesary. This book is the culmination of 7 years of research and artwork.Basically the project is DONE. Now if I can just format it correctly.
    I can't thank you both enough for your time, suggestions, expertise and patience.
    Thanks again

  • How do I save an image along with the inklayer?

    I have a form with a pictureBox with an annotatable image on it. When the image is dirtied I allow the user to save it. Problem is, after save, I only see the original image, not the annotations.

    Hi Leddboy,
    Like your title mentioned, you have used inklayer, this is a third-party software. i am afraid this issue is out of our support. I would suggest you ask your issue in their officical froum.Thanks for your understanding.
    Here is the link
    http://www.edugeek.net/forums/educational-software/105237-smart-ink-layer.html
    For picturebox save control, you can use like this
    pictureBox.Image.Save(@"Path",ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    Have a nice day!

  • Moving LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?

    I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
    The meta data for each image is missing.
    I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
    Is there some way to move everything?

    No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
    Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

  • How to place a background image, so that the text layer, without having to use a text box

    Hello,
    I have a problem with the placement of the background image. When I normally formatted text on a page and add the image you want on the background of the text and the handle on the back is still image over text, just no longer responds to wrap text.
    The second problem is adding a new page to the document. I have unfinished document and I need to add a page before the current ... how?
    This is a new Pages.
    Thanks for the advice

    Helps to know exactly what version of Pages you are using.
    I assume Pages 5.1. But the last post makes me wonder.
    Text Wrap only works on text under an object. Either it is in front causing text wrap or it is in the background with none. It is unclear what you are trying to achieve.

  • SPRY Question - how to return to a SPRY accordian with the appropriate pannel expanded?

    I am using a SPRY accordion
    http://apoko.abetterplacetobe.org/ChapterDocuments/MeetingMinutes/MeetingMinutesIndex.html )
    to control access to a variety of meeting minutes. Each
    accordion panel
    represents a school year and contains a collection of links
    to items within
    that school year. By default, the window (i.e. the "index")
    opens with the
    first panel collection expanded.
    When a user clicks on any of the items within a panel
    collection on the
    "index" page, control passed to a linked "detail" page. I
    want the user to
    be able to return to the "index" page, with the appropriate
    panel collection
    expanded, by clicking on the title area (i.e. "Brotherhood
    Meeting") on the
    "detail" page.
    I have placed an anchor tag (i.e. identifying "the year") on
    each panel
    header on the "index" page and use that relative address as
    the return link
    from the "detail" page. Control does returns from the
    "detail" page to the
    appropriate anchor on the "index" page but the panel
    collection does not
    expand. I have only implements these links on the 1952-1953
    and 1953-1954
    panel tabs.
    How can I get control to return and expand the appropriate
    panel tab?

    I don't think there is anything like that . You need to develop by yourself . I've written some blog post which might be related with your requirement.

  • How to Fetch Cancelled Jobs info along with the Short Dump Text

    Hi Gurus,
    I need to develop a report to fetch the cancelled jobs information for the given period. I also need to display the "Error Analysis" part of the Short Dump if it exists.
    I am able to fetch the Failed Jobs information and the Job log details using the FM "BP_JOBLOG_READ". But I need to show the "Error Analysis Text" on the report , if there is any Short Dump Exists for the Dump.
    Please give me your ideas to fetch the Error Analysis part of the short dump for a given Batch Job Name.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Best Regards,
    Sumalatha

    The dump information is in table SNAP. You could identify which dump you want by the date & time of the failed job - let's hope you don't have more than one dump with the same time. If it is ambiguous you could also compare the program name of the failed step with the program name in the SNAP data.
    The error analysis texts are in table SNAPT keyed according to which error occurred (which is data element code FC right at the start of the first record in the SNAP data). You will have to expand out the includes, and substitute the variable codes using values from the SNAP data. There is standard code to do this that you could copy - see program SAPMS380.
    To find out the details of the SAP process you could run transaction ST22 via the debugger and use the same mechanism.
    best wishes

    PS Note these details apply to recent systems I think there may be differences if you go back to before ?2004, but I don't have such a system so can't check. You didn't say what release you have.

  • How do you move an image in pages?

    How do i move an image in pages? I copied and pasted it onto the document but when I try to drag it, it just jumps back to where it was.

    All you have to do is command click out side the text zone and make sure there is no clicking line to wright text, and then just go insert/choose/ and then choose the image you want. It should then let you move it around. Hope this helped.

  • How can I move an image/file around inside a document with text already in it?

    I'm learning In Design on the job, and it's a real challenge.  One big problem I'm having is, after I've placed an image inside a document with text in it, how do I place it precisely where I want it?  Sometimes I need the image flush to the left, and sometimes I need to center it.  When I place it, it doesn't land where I need it to be.  Things I've tried work sometimes but not other times.  I've tried going to Paragraph and reducing the setting to zero to move an image flush to the left of the text frame/column (I'm working with a three-column page).  Sometimes that works, and sometimes it does not.  When it doesn't, I've tried using the Selection tool to drag the image, but it doesn't respond.  Could someone give me an idea of what I'm overlooking?  I'm finding that InDesign has many settings, and all it takes is for one setting to be what it shouldn't be for things to go badly wrong.  I'm having other issues too, but in this discussion I'll stick to this.

    Sounds like you are anchoring the images in the text flow. That's fine if you need them to move along with text during editing, but is usually not required and often counter productive. If you place your images as separate objects in their own independent frames they can be positioned anywhere and moved at will. If they need to be anchored, consider using Custom Positioned instead of inline.

  • How can I move some image on JPanel ?

    How can I move some image on JPanel ?
    I want to move it with my arrow keys.
    Plees, give me example code

    1) Read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html]Using Layout Managers. You would need to use Absolute Positioning so you can control the position of the image
    2) Add the image to a JLabel and the label to the panel
    3) Read the tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/keybinding.html]How to Use Key Bindings. Then you just assign an Action to each of the arrow keys and use setLocation(...) to move the label.
