Inline Objects Causing Grief

I am writing a diary in the Word Processing layout of Pages, which is 95% text, but I want to be able to add photographs and other objects to illustrate it. I am having great difficulty making objects stay inline. I position them exactly where I want them (floating) and then click inline and they jump all over the place, and often a long way down the page. I often want to put two photographs together, side by side, as well, and this seems almost impossible. I managed it once or twice some time ago but can't for the life of me remember how I did it, or repeat it! I have tried using a Page Layout document instead, but when I click on the photographs the inline/floating option is grayed and I cannot select it. I have read the Pages User's Guide but cannot find the answer to my question. Can anyone help, please? This doesn't seem as intuitive as most things Mac usually are. Thank you.

In this first example, I inserted the two pictures, defined them as inline with no wrap and I checked that there was not an extraneous space character between them.
Here, I grouped the two objects then defined them as inline and defined the wrap mode.
The same objects are grouped differently then I applied the same kind of wrap.

Inline object in portrait-layout text disappears when switched to anchored?

I'm trying to add a simple drop-cap to a text-only book that I'm putting together in iBooks Author. In Landscape orientation, it works fine; I add a text box, position it at the beginning of the chapter text, set it to Anchored placement, and turn on Object causes wrap.
In portrait orientation, however, "anchor" isn't working. Specifically, if I create an object, copy-paste it into the pageless body text (so it's inline), and then switch it to Anchored placement (via either the Inspector or the toolbar), the object vanishes. Completely--it's gone from the document entirely so far as I can tell. I tried it with a text box and various shapes, and also tried creating a new document with a different template--the behavior was the same in every case. The object just disappears.
Now, that just can't be the intended behavior, but is this a reproduceable bug for other people? And/or is there a workaround so I can get a drop-cap in portrait view?

Hi Eric,
I believe the problem is because the leading on the image paragraph is now set to 14pt, whereas previously it was probably set to auto. Auto leading is the only way to get images to push the text down like you want. Note also that for some reason, ID has a preference "Apply leading to whole paragraphs" turned off by default. Unless you select the whole paragraph, auto-leading will not work the way you want it to until you have this preference switched on.

Turn off Object Causes Wrap for in-line tables

Is there a way to uncheck object causes wrap for inline tables? The option is there but it's grayed out.
Or perhaps someone could suggest an alternative way to put text beside the table. Floating will not work because I want my tables to move with my text.
My document is in Word Processing mode.

I just tried this and it works for me. Put your cursor where you want your text and create another inline table. Make it one column by one row. Type your text in the single cell. Set the border color to white if you don’t want to see the “box.”

'Wrap' formatting of inline objects?

When I place an object (an image) within a body of text, and wrap is selected, the text flows around the object in the manner that has been selected as long as the object is 'floating.' However, as soon as the object has been made 'inlline,' the text no longer flows around it, but instead is pushed above and below the object and the wrap options are greyed out.
What is the secret to maintaining the 'wrap' options for an inline object, if any?

Alistair - I'm confused... First, Apple's Pages works like Bob described... an image can be inserted "inline" and you can select "object causes wrap" - and as the text moves, the image moves with the text. I expect iBooks Author to work the same way!
As soon as I select 'inline' iBooks Author deselects the "object causes wrap" and you can't pick the wrapping options.
I've tried selecting "anchored" does allow you to do the wrapping options, but if you edit the text around the object (like maybe adding a bunch of text above the image), then the image doesn't move and you've got to move the image again.
I think what I'm learning is that iBooks Author is not a text editing tool - they expect you to have your text locked down when you come into iBA and then fooling with images would be easier.

Is the ability to center an inline object with a baseline shift gone in Pages 5.0?

In the previous versions of pages I was able to center an inline object such as an imported equation with a baseline shift. I cannot find this in pages 5.0.
It is gone?

How to change "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" as a default properties when importing images in Autor

When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
I don't want that and couldn't find where can I change it in the Preferences. Anyone has an idea?

I've sent a feature request for a new version of Author:
When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
It would be great if I could be able to change it in the Preferences to "No wrap" and "No Frame" so I don't have to manually adjust every single image of my book - there are lots of them.
It would be really nice if Author implements "Layer's" concept like almost all graphic programs like Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, etc.

What does Inline object "Y offset" mean exactly?

Hi everyone,
I am confused about inline object y offset. What does it mean exactly? I looked it up on adobe help, here is what it says there.
Inline
Aligns the anchored object with the baseline of the insertion point. You can adjust the Y Offset to position the object above or below the baseline. This is the default type of anchored object. In earlier versions of InDesign, these objects were called inline graphics.
So.. is the baseline at the insertion point? If the y offset is a negative number, does that mean the baseline move up? How come the object doesn't move ? like the adobe help say, "adjust the y offset to position the object above or below the baseline", doesn't it mean the baseline should stay and object moves accordingly?
Thanks a lot!

The behavior of inlines is also tied to the leadingof the line in which they are located. When the line has autoleading specified, the inline starts withthe bottom edge on the baseline, and the leading for the entire line is adjusted to the height of the inline object. Changing the y offset in such cases would appear to make the inline object appear stationary while shifting the baseline up or down.Waht is happening is the "auto" amount of leading is being adjusted to compensate for the shift.
If the line in which the object is inserted uses a fixed leading, that leading is honored, and the inline object may cover part of the text above. Changing the offset will make the boject appear to move up or down realtive to the baseline, which will remain fixed by the assigned leading.

Transparent objects cause fuzziness in PDF's from Pages

Hi, having trouble with objects that have some transparency. When going to PDF's, or even to PS files and then PDF's, the objects cause anything near and under them to become fuzzy. Has anyone a fix or workaround to this, other than not using objects with transparency? Thanks in advance - Tim L.

Some additional input... it seems it's not the transparency, but drop shadows that are causing this. It may be the combination of drop shadows on graphics that also have transparency. In any case, turning off the drop shadows makes the PDFx output look OK and not have adjacent text fuzzy. The graphics look better with drop shadows - but the drop shadows cause other problems with transparent graphics and adjacent text. Solution - don't use drop shadows in this case.

Inline objects in page layout mode

Before I drive myself any more insane than I already am can someone please confirm, or otherwise, that it isn't possible to use inline objects in page layout mode or, indeed, inside text boxes in word processing mode? Assuming this is the case can anyone suggest a work around?

Please don't become insane, there already too many such human beeings
Here is the way I work (mainly because I don't store my photos in iPhoto).
drag and drop the picture file onto the doc's page.
select the picture frame with its square handles
Cut it so it will no longer appear but is stored in the clipboard.
Put the cursor where you want to insert the picture then paste.

Select the Inline object by its script label

Hi Friends,
How to selct an Inline object by its label?
My Code
myDoc.pages[0].allPageItems.item("AAA").select();
But it shows the following error
myDoc.pages[0].allPageItems.item is not a function.
Regards,
JesRoberts.

Hi Friend
Can you tell me what was wrong with my answer to your previous post that you didn't show any acknowledgement of it.
Did I not answer it?
Maybe before starting new post you should finish of the "finished" ones

Precise placement of inline objects

Hi there!
I need some help with placement of inline objects. When I work with floating objects, everything works fine. I can insert image and mark certain part of image with circe (from Shapes menu) or pull the arrow from the specific part of tex to the image. See picture below.
But off course, floating objects dont move with text.
If I change objects in Inline objects I cannot put them where I want. See vertical arrow on the picture below. I added also Wrap Inspector, so you can see my settings. Altough I tried all possible settings with Wraping and No wraping. Please help!

Red vertical arrow is part of the group. I mentioned it just because I want it to be under the word "page" in the text above (like in first image in my first post). But You help me discover limited placement options. Thanks again!
There is another thing. When I set my group of objects as inline object and go to Arrange, Align Objects I cannot set alignement (options are grey) - see image below. I'm starting to believe that I wanted to do something impossible.

A method layout without a target object causes a one-sided reclassificat.

Dear experts,
I am from BI background. I have been asked to do a testing in BCS and received the following message when I tried to generate NPAT:
A method layout without a target object causes a one-sided reclassificat.
Message no. UCF4008
Diagnosis
You have not defined a target object in the method layout.
System Response
This method will consequently perform a one-sided reclassification. It will only read records from the database with a posting level not equal to zero and will post them without a document type.
Procedure
Select the target object in order to define the method layout for a normal reclassification.
As a result, NPAT has not been generated, so can you guys help me out to understand what is happening here?
Thank you.

I think you are using this reclassification technique for reclassifying Net income and Retained earnings.
This message normal you get if
1. If you have executed reclassification task in update mode once and posted NI and RE. or
2. There is no NI or RE.
Please let me know if you have any further queries.

By any chance long living filestream object cause unmanaged memory leak?

Hi,
I am running my application where in I have one file stream object which live for long duration, say its life time is equivalent to life time of application. So by any chance this kind of object causes unmanaged memory leak in the application. Because when
I see private bytes for my application, it is higher than the all bytes in heap counter. That mean there is a unmanaged memory leak. So does such filestream object cause such behaviour?
Thanks and Regards,
Lucas

What makes you think it's the file stream that leaks unmanaged memory? There could be other parts of your applications that do that.
FileStream doesn't usually allocate unmanaged memory. Its internal buffer is a GC heap allocated byte[] array. The only unmanaged memory allocation that I know of in FileStream is a OVERLAPPED structure used for async I/O. If you use BeginRead/Write make
sure you call EndRead/Write correctly, otherwise that structure may be leaked.
@Joel Engineer: "When a stream uses ASCII encoding under certain cases nulls are added to the data for block alignment."
FileStream doesn't have anything to do with text encoding and I've told you that before. Next time when I run into a post that makes such a claim I'll simply delete it. This display of ignorance has lasted more than enough.

Taskflow as inline popup causes issues while returning..

Hi,
I am using 11gr1p1. I have an ADF application where I have a bounded taskflow I call as inline popup. And in the popup I return from the taskflow ..
Everything works fine when I launch my app within JDeveloper or when I launch it directly.
It fails when I call the ADF application from a different web page by opening it in a new window. In this case when I click the button in the inline popup to return from the taskflow I got an error in the IE's log as below..
Line :1
Char:86
Error : Access is denied.
Any help will be great, we spent quite a time to make this work ...

That is the problem actually. When I run the link directly it works fine. But I need to launch the ADF application from a non-ADF app which is not hosted on WLS.
The scenario above was just to simplify the problem...
Is there any security settings etc that may cause this ?
Thanks
