How to keep an image "in place" within a document using Pages?

Here's what I want solved. When I position an image (like a jPeg photo) within a document I take a great amount of care as to how it looks in the layout. BUT, if I add a new line of text ABOVE the image, all the text moves, but the image stays in place. When the text above moves down, any kind of "art direction" is lost.
Yes, I know there is a way to "LOCK" the image, but that doesn't solve this issue. The formatting still moves all the text and the image is stuck, LOCKED or UN-LOCKED.
I want to know if there is a way to KEEP THE IMAGE in place within the text. I want to be able to edit above the image and not have the headache of needing to move the image every single time I change something above it.
Does this make sense?
I have to assume there is a way to do this, I just haven't figured it out.
I am using Pages 09.
thanks,
Mike C

This text below is from the Pages help menu, but (sadly) This does NOT solve my problems.
Locking and Unlocking Floating Objects
You can lock floating objects to avoid inadvertently moving them as you work. Inline objects cannot be grouped or locked.
After you lock individual or grouped objects, you can’t move, delete, or modify them in any way until you unlock them. However, a locked object can be selected, copied, or duplicated; when you copy or duplicate a locked object, the new object is also locked.
To lock a floating object:
Select the objects you want to lock, and then choose Arrange > Lock.
To unlock a floating object:
Select the objects you want to unlock, and then choose Arrange > Unlock.

Is there a way to place page numbers in different places within a document in Pages?

I have a document with multiple chapters and I need to place the page number in a different place at the beginning of each chapter than the rest of the document. For example, on the first page of each chapter, the page number must be at the center in the footer while on every other page, the page number needs to be in the right of the header. I know that there is a way to do this in Microsoft Word but I'm not sure how to do it in Pages. Anyone have any ideas? I would prefer not to have to download Word.
Thank you.

Hi Brian,
If you go with Peter's suggestion, there are some details that since I've got a minute here, I'll mention...
Set your Line Spacing for the document text to "Exactly" before you begin adjusting your table, otherwise you will have registration problems.
Your Table will have to be a Floating object. Otherwise you won't be able to slide it into the margin. And, speaking of the margin, stay out of the gray area with the numbers if you want to print them. The gray border around your document is the area that the printer driver says is non-printable.
In the Table Inspector, set Columns to 1 and Rows to 20 or whatever you prefer for your document. Set the number of Header Rows to 0.
To apply the numbering, use the Fill feature: Type 1 in the first cell, type 2 in the second cell. Select both cells. Grab the Fill Handle in the lower right corner of the selection and drag it down to add a series of numbers to the rest of the column. (Easier than typing.)
Decide how you want to justify the numbering. The Text Inspector has both vertical and horizontal justification controls for this. Just select the entire table and make the settings.
Set the cell height to match the text line spacing. You can get close with the table row height, and maybe closer with a minor line spacing adjustment. Don't expect perfection, but you can get pretty close.
You probably don't want the cell borders to show, so with the entire table selected, go to the Graphic Inspector and set Stroke to None.
Lastly, cause the table to appear on every page by doing: Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.
Regards,
Jerry

How to keep a image lways on top of internal frames?

Hello.
I have a main frame with sevral internal frames. I need to put a image on this
window that can move this image remotely.
How to keep this image always on top of these internal frames?
Is there any panel that can put on top of these internal frame?
Many thanks.

Thanks for you reply and sorry for my break English.
I mean I need a image that moving on a frame which has internal Frames.
When the image meet a internal frame while it's moving, this image will go under of the internal frame , so that we can not see the image any more.
What i want to do is that let the image always keep on top of the window,
even if it meet a internal frame.
Just imagine the windows cursor. A cursor is always visible no matter where is it.

How to keep the image centered in the window when mouse zooming in cc 2014

I,m not able to keep the image centered in the window when using the mouse scroll wheel for zooming.

Ctrl + and - keys are meant for "center zoom". As far as I know, the zoom tool is a "point zoom" tool. If you move the zoom tool with your mouse, it will zoom in on that part of the image.
Also Ctrl 0 is "fit to screen" and Ctrl 1 is 100% zoom. (Use Cmd if this is a Mac)

How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder?

How can I create a sub-folder within my "Documents" folder? I have many similar documents that I want to group together. This will also un-clutter my Documents folder.

Also, you can add a New Folder button to the Finder's toolbar by opening Finder, going to the View menu in the menubar, selecting Customize Toolbar..., and dragging the New Folder icon to the toolbar in the Finder window. Then it's just one-click for new folders wherever you want them.

I want to link to a specific place within a document from Captivate4

Hi all,
I want to link to a specific place within a document from Captivate4.
I have no trouble linking to the beginning of a document; however I want to be able to link to a specific chapter/area of a document I am creating. My plan is that as people progress through the e-learning they can link back to the electronic manual I am creating from where they left off.
I have a workaround of creating separate documents and linking to them, but this is time consuming and messy.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do; I have looked around the forums and, unless I am blind, can't find anything like I am looking for.
Cheers

How do I remove or delete files within a document folder? I have tried dragging the files to the trash and it does not work

How do I remove or delete files and image files within a document foler? I have tried dragging the files to the trash, but that is not working.

Right-click (or ctrl-click) on a file. If the "move to Trash" option is greyed out, select "get info" and read the permissions at the bottom of the info window.
Wat are they?
Do the same for the enclosing folder - what permissions does that have?

Is it any setting in Strust framework for this.
I am using Struts Framework.
Please let me know if need more information

Sorry, I don't clearly understand the question and the horrible code (Java code doesn't belong in JSPs) doesn't make it more easy to understand.
Best what I can guess is that you need to learn about passing request parameters/attributes in JSP and the possibilty of storing attributes in the session. And based on the code, also learn how to separate the data, business and presentation layers properly.

How to put an image in the popup help of a page item?

I am using APEX 2.2. I want to put an image in the help text of a page input item.
This is the help text:
Some help text....
<img src="&APP_IMAGES.auto_lov.jpg" />This is rendered as:
<img src="wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=0&p_flow_id=103&p_fname=auto_lov.jpg" />As you can see, the application id is not returned.
If I put exactly the same text in a html region, the image is correctly displayed:
<img src="wwv_flow_file_mgr.get_file?p_security_group_id=844129086577364&p_flow_id=103&p_fname=auto_lov.jpg" />So, is it possible at all to put in image in the popup help text of a page item?

I solved it by putting the jpg file in an images directory on the web server instead of in the database. Not really what I want, but it works.
<img src="&IMAGE_PREFIX./apps/auto_lov.jpg" />

How can I paste a pdf of a Publisher document into Pages so I can edit?

I have been asked to print a document that was created in Publisher on a PC. I have been sent a pdf of the document, which is A4, printed both sides, with four A6 text boxes on each side, with the same artwork and text in each box. The trouble is, the layout is wrong so when it is cut into four the margins are not even. I have Acrobat 7.0 Standard (which is know is very old) but I haven't used it much and can't work out how to edit the pdf. At the moment all I can do is copy and paste the entire document into Pages but then I can't extract just one A6 text box from the rest. If I could do that it would be a breeze to set it up correctly in Pages so that it works when cut into four A6 pieces. When I go to Get Info it says it is not locked and I have permission to read and write.
Can anyone explain these things to a beginner, please?
Thanks!

Chris
There are several ways we can go about this.
*1. In Adobe Illustrator* you can open the pdf file directly and chop out the bits you don't want and resave them individually. There maybe problems with fonts not being embedded as it comes from a PC where such things are mostly verbotten.
*2. In Acrobat* you can do some editing and avoid the fonts issue. But the procedure is a bit more involved.
If it helps, you need 2 things:
+Menu > Tools > Advanced Editing > Select Object Tool+ and
+Menu > Split Document… / Crop Pages…+
Using this you can unpick the pdf file removing the parts you don't want. Not as simple as it sounds because you need to understand why some objects select with others and why some are unselectable which has to do with grouping, masking and compounding.
*3. In Preview* cut apart the multiple pages and parts of each page. To split the multiple pages you will have to open the set and then delete the pages you don't want and save the remaining page with a new name.
To delete a page click on it in the sidebar and hit delete.
To crop a page use the +Select Tool+ in the top of the window and drag around the part of the page you want then +Menu > Tools > Crop+ and resave with a new name. Be aware this does not actually get rid of anything outside the select it just crops the view of it.
*4. Which brings us to Pages*. Having divided the pdf into individual page files you can then drag them into Shapes on your page the size of the parts you want to show.
When you click on the shape with page in it a little bar shows up underneath with +Edit Mask+. Click on the +Edit Mask+. You will see the shape, which is the mask, gets a grey dotted outline with white resizing boxes on the corners and mid points. If you need to adjust the crop or size of the shape drag on these.
Behind the shape outline is the image with the cropped parts outside shown greyed out. The greyed out part is the hidden part. If you click outside the shape but on the greyed out part of the image you select the image itself and can pull at its corners or sides to change its shape. Or if you just click on the greyed part of the image you can move it around so that it moves relative to the shape cropping it.
If you have several sections to be shown in each shape, you can move them one at a time to show each one. Say you have 4: 2 top and 2 bottom, option drag the shape with the picture in it to make 4 copies. Then in each one pull the image to reveal in turn top-left, top-right, bottom-left and bottom-right.
Do this till you have all the parts separated and rearrange them where you want.
*A bonus tip:* Cut out a step by opening Preview, next to Pages, with the multiple pages showing in the sidebar. You can drag the pages from the sidebar directly into the shape in Pages, without having to divide the .pdf.
Any further questions just ask.
Peter
