When I set up a page for publishing, it must be pasted up, in other words, the text and anything accompanying the text is applied to the page in a certain pattern. The problem is that groups of images cannot be copied/pasted in the same pattern as they were when they were originally pasted up on my page.
Images must be floating in order to be placed on the "dummy" page. But items such as a table, a photo, or a graph, cannot be "copied" before "pasting" unless they are inline images. I can't do paste up with the items inline because they cannot be moved/dragged when they are inline.
In my last publication I had several pages containing at least five different images, including text boxes, separation lines, etc. I had to copy and paste each item individually in order to get the same pattern I achieved during paste up. This was a pain.
What I'd like to do is find out how I can move these groups of images and paste, by copying and pasting them in the exact same order they were when first laid out. I could do that in Appleworks, but I cannot do this in Pages unless I'm missing something obvious, but I don't think I am. Any ideas?
