Adding Photos to a Document

With Pages ’08, it’s easy to add photos to a document. In fact, many Pages templates already have placeholder images in them.

To add a photo to a template you’ve opened:

1. Click the Media button in the toolbar to reveal the Media Browser. Then click the Photos button to display the contents of your iPhoto library.
2. Click an album or event to display all the photos in that album or event.
3. Drag the photo on top of a placeholder image.

Working on a Pages document that doesn’t have image placeholders? Not to worry, you can add photos to any Pages document just as easily.

To add a photo to a document without placeholder images:

1. Click the Media button in the Toolbar to have Pages open the Media Browser.
2. Click an album or event to display all the photos in that album or event.
3. Drag the photo from the Media Browser to your document and release the mouse button.

If the photo you added is not perfectly positioned, you can grab it and drag it to the location you’d like it to appear. In fact, Pages displays x and y coordinates that allow you to place it precisely.
