How may i place photos and comments in Pages document and make the photos stay as placed? I inserted several photos into my document along with text describing photos, but some photos refuse my placement and jump to cover other photos.

Why can't I copy images out of Pages? I am a very heavy user of Pages and have been since it arrived as an alternative to other word processors. That said, over the past decade of using this app, there has been one major continuing annoyance I have experience with Pages... why can't we ever copy an image out of Pages to another app? This is violation of what seems to me intuitive, that if I can paste an image into an app I should be able to copy an image out in some form. In fact if you take a copy of the saved Pages file, change the file extension from .pages to .zip, you can uncompress the file and find all the images in the Pages file are stored as PDFs internally. It is not beyond Apple's capability to rasterize a PDF and allow (maybe via a 'Copy as...' menu item) extraction of the image to allow manipulation of the image before pasting it back in. For now, I typically enlarge the images on screen and use a screen capture to rasterize the result, but it should be possible to do this...

drop multiple photos into pages document I need to drop a folder full of photos into a pages document and have them line up one per page. I want to resize on the page, add similar photos, and insert text to fill the page. I've tried every work around I can think of and searched for hours. This seems like a simple task, one that word does automatically. Pages dumps them all on top of one another. I must be missing something.

Click on the photo, and from the Format panel, you will see an image tab. Follow the instructions below, and the original image that was dropped into Pages will be made available to the Finder again. Take care to not attempt to overwrite the image, even though the Finder would challenge you with a Replace dialog.

If you "Inserted the photo into a Pages document," it was already a file, and the copy accepted by Pages remains a file contained in a Pages document.

Make a copy of the photo 'file' you used to insert the photo (or use the original file). Drag and drop it into a folder, or into Photos, where it will be avaolable as a fle.
