Adding pictures to Pages document on MacBook Air

I write a newsletter that contains many photographs. I originally had an IMac but just purchased a MacBook Air. When I transfer pictures now and click Move to Page it will not attach to the text box. I need them to be part of the article because it allows me to include the pictures when editing. What do I need to do?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 14.6

copying text and picture in Pages I am attempting to copy a page out of my book that I'm writing in Pages. My intent was to share a few pages with the pictures on an email. When I copy and then paste, the picture is absent. Is there a way to do this without manually adding the picture to the email?

Having problems inserting photos into apps. Community - I'm having problems inserting photos in to apps. In particular (this morning) as a profile pic for a contact in Contacts. But, generally also into emails in the Mail app. The first issue is that it seems like we are only allowed to insert images from the Photos app. I would like to be able to be able to upload an image from any image type file (jpg png, etc) in any folder on my mac, or even from a flash-drive. The second, and more critical problem, is that when I try to upload from the Photos app., I have been unable to locate the image I want. 1) There seems to be no logical rhyme or reason to where photos are located; 2) The window we have to search in is so small it is difficult to use; and, more frustrating is that the Table of Contents (or Photos window) I am given to search from in the Mail or Contacts app does not seem to correspond with the Table of Contents I get when I open my Photos app. I took a screen shot of those table of contents next to each other to illustrate. Hopefully you can see that they are not the same, not even the Albums are the same. Note: When I inserted the image below, I had the ability to chose it from any file in any folder on my computer, which is what I like. But even more strange is that I was not given the option to select an image from Photos. See, image below. And thank you in advance for your time. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Dragging and dropping image / photo into emails and documents Before Ventura I was able to drag and drop an image / photo from desktop to an email / Pages document. Since Ventura with Stage Manager on any documents on my desktop disappear when an email or Pages document is open, meaning I can't drag and drop any more. I guess I could switch off Stage Manager but at the moment the only way I can do it is to (1) minimise the email/Pages to the screen left, (2) copy the desktop image when it reappears, (3) re-open the email or document and then (4) paste it into the reopened document. Given how central inserting content into documents is I am wondering if I am missing anything. The workflow under Ventura with Stage Manager seems to be less efficient. What was one simple drag and drop has now become a 4 stage process. Has anyone found a way round this?

Hi Andrea,

I can not find Move to Page in Pages.

Do you mean Arrange > Object Placement > Stay on Page or Move with Text?

Or something else?

Under the Help Menu:

Tested in Pages 14.3 under MacOS 15.2 Sequoia on a MacBook Air.

More information may lead to a solution.

Regards,

Ian.
