Pix don't show in document that I made in Pages, copied and pasted onto an email

Question

I've got a six month old Mac Air with OS X 10.9.2. I made a short document in Pages, version 5.2 (1860). I used the images link to put some photos into the document. I want to send this document to many people, using who knows what operating systems. I shared it with a few people first, but one person couldn't even open it, while the other person had a "hard time" (?) opening it, but finally got it opened, while the others (I thank them all very much ) haven't responded.
It isn't working as easily as I want, and feel that maybe it's not such a good idea to send the document out as an attachment anyway. So, now I want to copy and paste the whole document right into the body of the email. I've sent the document to myself to see if it comes up okay. Everything looks great except that none of the pictures show up. They're important.
Is there some requirement that the pictures are limited to a certain size, or a certain type, or some other requirement? The moment the document is pasted into my Gmail email, the pictures don't show up. I'd suppose if Gmail had a size limit they'd at least show up when the document (including the photos) is pasted into the body of the email, and just wouldn't show up when the email is opened up.
Thanks for any help.
Troy.

I clicked the link but, it seems odd to me that this didn't show up here in the thread. I guess this is legitimate though.
Here are my answers -
- OSX and Pages versions
As I mentioned in my initial post I've got OS X 10.9.2 on a 2013 model MacBook Air, and Pages 5.2 (1860).
- Is iCloud file sync On for Pages
I don't know where to find iCloud file sync in Pages. Searching the internet didn't help. I found some forum threads but they don't make any sense to me. I'm not so computer savvy and am still new to Mac. I can share links via iCloud by sending files as Pages documents, PDFs, Word documents, or ePubs. Maybe this is what you mean. But I don't see anything about turning it on or off.
- copy of a document thatdoes not show images
Only way I know of is to use Google Docs. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1pRfzSI8gpzKRavCbFRdLAUjddVqTMyyvTllJNvCVAeA/ edit
- details about workflow before the image dow not show in Pages
I uploaded all the images using the "Media" icon in the Pages task bar at the top of the screen. Is there anything more that you'd like to know about the workflow?
- is the document stored on the local hard drive or on a network server
Local hard drive.
Thanks much.
