Importing grouped images into InDesign from Word

Hi everybody. Is there anyone who can help me please?
When I place work, Edit > Place and then Shift and click. It only place my text up until the first grouped image. But when I ungrouped it in Word, the whole document can be placed. Why can’t InDesign place grouped images from Word, is there a way to do this?
Thank you!

Thank you Steve, looks like I'll have to ungroup them first then.
Thanks for the help

How to import an image into indesign?

how do i import an image from google images into indesign and then use as a background like a watermark?

Save it out of Google Images to your hard drive. It'll probably be a JPEG file. Choose File > Place to place the image. To use it as a watermark, it will have to be on a lower layer or lower in the stacking order than other objects on the page.
It sounds like you could use some help learning InDesign. I highly recommend Sandee Cohen's Visual QuickStart Guide, which is available for every version of InDesign. It's inexpensive and will save a lot of time learning the program:

How can I import scanned images into InDesign CS5 using Mac10.6?

I want to be able to import scanned images. What file format must I save the data in?

Greg Parks L.A. wrote:
For example, to print on a press you need images that are CMYK at 300 ppi, 100% scale. If you're just making office-quality documents or PDFs, you can use RGB images at a lower resolution.
You do not need images to be CMYK for print. InDesign can handle the conversion from RGB to CMYK when exporting to PDF. The old rule of thumb that images for print need to be 300 ppi is history. The ideal minimum resolution is halftone screen times the square root of 2 (1.41421356). But you can get away with a lower resolution for most images.

How to direct import iPhoto images into InDesign pages?

Is there a simple way to import images from iPhoto and not loose resolution? I keep my concept images for client presentations in iPhoto and have been using Pages or Photoshop or Keynote to create simple presentation pages with images, and the same header/footer with my logo, project name. I would like to have a bit more type control so ran through tutorials on InDesign and didn't find my answer.

Importing transparent images into Indesign

Hi guys,
Just started using Indesign cs6 and for the life of me can not work out how to import transparent pngs. All transparent images I import have their background changed to a white background. The image import options has an option to use transparency information, with either use white back ground (which is selected) or use file defined background colour.
I assume i should be using file defined background colour but its greyed out. Why is this option greyed out and how can I retain a transparent bg in my image? The image i'm importing is fireworks png file.
Cheers,
Ps. First post, so go easy on me

I don't have Fireworks and I haven't made any Fireworks PNG files.
I'm not sure how they work. But I believe that Fireworks PNGs can contain editable layers for Fireworks use only.
This may be part of the issue of the transparent background - but as I say I have very limited knowledge of Fireworks.
What I will say with some degree of comfort is that PNG is primarily a web format - and it's not a print format. Adobe InDesign is a page layout tool intended for Print on mechanical presses - and it's only recently it's been geared towards Web, ePub and Flash creation.
Perhaps the Fireworks PNG simply does not work with InDesign.
Can you save that Fireworks PNG from Fireworks to say a TIF of PSD? Which may be better for importing to InDesign.
The only other solution I can think of is to open that PNG file in Photoshop and save it as a Transparent PNG from there using File>Save for Web

InDesign CS3 Scripting XML Import Multiple Images into same Text Frame

I am having trouble importing multiple images into the same Text Frame using XML import. I imported 5 images into the text frame. However, all 5 images are laying on top of one another. Does anyone know if there is a way to have all images laying out like how Microsoft Word handles inline images, i.e., laying out next image to the right of previsous image in the same line and if there is not enough space left in the line, then wrap to next line. Thanks in advance. I understand I could use JavaScript to do post import processing, e.g, calculate the image size and place each images accordingly. But I am trying to see whether there is a way to do this without scripts.

You can apply an object style to all anchored images by script. A text frame containing main flow should be selected.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = app.selection[0];
var rectangles = textFrame.texts[0].rectangles;
if (rectangles.length > 0) {
for (var i=0; i < rectangles.length; i++) {
rectangles[i].appliedObjectStyle = doc.objectStyles.item("Cover");
However, there is a better approach:
Step 1
Create place holders for a single "Book" element and format it as needed -- apply an object style to the cover.
Step 2
Import the xml file -- the placeholders are replaced with data from the 1st xml element
Step 3
Drag & drop the element containing all "Books" elements into the main flow -- all elements are placed and formatted the same way as in step 1.
Finally, add a new page, click the overset text icon and autoflow text to add pages so that to fit all the text.
Hope this helps.

Image resizes when imported or placed into InDesign

I'm having a problem with placing images into Indesign. The problem is random but sometimes when I place an image or drag it from my library into indesign the scale changes. It should place at 100% both horizontally and vertically but not always. when I check the size it may be slightly off either way. These images could be tiff, jpg, or eps files. Is this something that can be fixed with an update?

Are you saying the image comes in scaled unevenly, or that it comes in at something besides 100%?
Are there updates for your version that you haven't installed? Since you haven't told us what you are currently using, it's hard to know. The ONLY update I wouldn't unequivocally tell you to install in the 6.0.6 update for CS4. Before installing that you should read the documentation about how it might affect existing files with placed .ai art, and decide if this would be a problem, or a least a greater problem than anything that the patch is designed to fix.

Problem with imported images into Indesign

I have scanned a book as a one bit (B & W) 600 dpi document. I have imported the document into Indesign as i need to integrate some decsreened pics in. I then export the finished document as a press ready PDF and the image virtually disappears off the page and what is left is very distorted. the type is twice as high and about five times wider than the original image.
I have contacted the scanner company and of course they put the issue with the exporting to the PDF.
Can anybody help??

This is bug #2960217 filed by me in September, relating to Indexed over Gray colorspace, also with a Fujitsu Scansnap S1500M.

The scanner that i have used is a Fujitsu Scansnap S1500M.
In short, don't use it in Grayscale (Or BW, I guess) modes. Use it in Color, or make sure to process the iamge in another app (like Photoshop) and save
it with a normal colorspace.

How do I import a .PDF into inDesign?

How do I import a .PDF into inDesign? Does anybody know how? I need to edit a book in inDesign that is a .PDF. So if anyone know how to do that please tell me.

Bob, Peter, grmg, many thanks for your very helpful comments. Delighted mac/pc not relevant. Will scratch that from list of herrings to chase.
Re PDFs - actually, I'm working in Acrobat (not just a finalized PDF), and Acrobat does of course allow editing of a sort; I'd concluded that since Adobe is willing to tolerate that degree of editing with its product, it should therefore tolerate moving its native format (*.pdf) into another of its own native formats (*.indd). I see that's a misconception.
This morning I tried all flavors I could find of getting my Acrobatted content into ID3, including copy/paste, place, and import (from the ID side); none was satisfactory. Output from Acrobat to Word and then placing Word was fine for English but destroyed the Greek - not just wrong font, but complete gobbledygook and loss of all diacriticals. Names of fonts don't matter for my purposes; the legibility of the English, and the legibility and tonic accuracy of the Greek do matter. Author of this project is not tech-savvy and is using old Greek system as well; nothing he or i can do to fix that.
Current plan is to request author to provide me his native files, which will be Mac files. Am I understanding the Import dialog and your collecitve comments to suggest that with that file resident on my PC (and unopened), I can use the Place dialog, with "Show Options" selected, to get the Mac file into ID?
Chapeaux to those of you with constructive comments - hugely appreciated.

How to import .docx files into InDesign

How to import .docx into InDesign page layout

For detailed explanation and techniques: An overview of placing (importing) Word files into InDesign from the Course Using Word and InDesign Together

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Imovie imports different image into project

I'm trying to create a slideshow using only jpg images. Sometimes (now frequently) when I drag a picture into the slideshow from iphoto, desktop, Adobe Bridge, or even straight out of downloads, the image that actually shows up in imovie is a previously used picture. Sometimes the correct image shows up in the strip, but a different photo shows up in the preview window.
I spent several hours at the Genius Bar yesterday and we dumped a plist and rebuilt the entire iphoto library.
I've got to say that after having imovie closed all night, I reopened it this morning and was able to import correct images into the correct positions on my project, but then it started acting up again (after I cancelled my Genius bar appointment for today!), and is again putting different pictures into the project than I am actually trying to put into the project.
I litterally just need to get about 5 more images into the project!
Please help
Using imovie 11 and OSx 10.7.5
Thanks in advance

I didn't film the video, so I'm not sure what kind of camera was used.
Here is a screenshot of the Quicktime Inspector:
And here is a bit more information about my situation: The video plays fine off of the thumb drive it was given to me on, and it plays fine off of my hard drive. But when I import the video into iMovie, all I see is the one still video shot while the audio plays beneath it. I've tried this on two different computers and on both of them, the video is frozen once it's imported into iMovie.
Bizarre.
I appreciate your help!

When importing an image into Flash, the filesize is reported incorrectly

I saved an image from Photoshop using "Save for Web" and managed to bring the filesize down to 56.5kb. When I import this image into Flash and click on the properties, the reported "Original" filesize is 1884.6kb which is a heck of a lot more. How can I import the image and retain the filesize without having to compress the image further causing a horrible quality image?

right click one of your bitmaps, click properties and tick "allow smoothing". retest.

RH10 suddenly won't let me add/import new images into my project

I have tried accessing the "Insert Image" option using the various methods (menu, toolbar icon, right click menu), but once the dialog box is open, I click on the browse folder to find the image that I added via Explorer, but nothing happens and the app freezes. The only thing I am able to do is close RH via the Task Manager. I have tried rebooting and also tried doing this in multiple projects to make sure it's not my main project with the problem. This same thing happens every time.
I CAN add an image that has already been imported into the project... I tried doing that then using Image Properties to bring in the newly created image... same result... freezes the app. My project is only about 50MB in size... and I probably only have 2 or 3 dozen images in it so far.
I am hoping you are not going to say uninstall and re-install because I don't have the disc with me today... working from home.
Help please.

TOTAL weirdness... so I just got into work... turned on my laptop... so i'm not working remotely... opened my project... at first i got this error:
then i continued to get a series of errors of various kinds.. finally one telling me the cpd file was corrupt... now mind you... I had to restart RH several times yesterday... also did a reboot... and didn't get any of these errors...I also tried to import an image into an older project to see if it was the project or RH.. but i had the same problem with the other project - no.. didn't try a NEW project as I was planning at your suggestion because it's working in my existing project now.
so i deleted the cpd... opened the project.. and tried to import a new image.. and BAM.. it worked like always! WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
I don't understand what the problem could have been if this wasn't working even without VPN...
Thoughts? I'd like to avoid this issue next time I'm working from home.. which will be next week!

Can't import any images into lightroom 5

Working away in my studio and suddenly I can't import any images into lightroom 5 (version5.5) for macbook pro os x 10.9.5

Thank you for your response,
...my complete goofiness.
I somehow managed to change my destination folder in Lightroom when importing images and could not copy to the "location" (or as the right panel indicates, the "destination").
So adjusted my destination folder and am back to importing as usual.
