How make image move with text

Did you try grouping the elements together? Click on each element using the shift key - -then go to Item - Group.

You can also insert a picture box into a text box, which would allow it to stay at a particular point in the text. So, for example, if you added an extra paragraph at the start, the picture would shift with the text.
To do this, you need a text box and a picture box. Use the 'Item' tool (the arrows) to select the picture box, and copy it (or cut it). Now use the 'Content' tool (the hand) and click somewhere within the text box. Now paste. There are a few options in the measurements pallette regarding alignment, but that's the basic principle.

You can embed a box within text. Select and copy (or cut) the box with the object selection tool. Now switch to the text tool and paste within your text. You can then play around with runaround settings etc. until you acheive the desired effect. Remember that your box will be subject to all formatting applied to the paragraph within which it is embedded, and your text box must be large enough to accomodate the embedded box.

oops, blueark must have posted while I was posting - my post adds nothing.

I will have somewhere between 50 and 100 images to add. Thanks for responding.
Are you suggesting that I group each image (one at a time) as they are intermixed with the text?
It doesn't make sent to group the images together, so I'll have to assume you mean to group each image to the text element. Does this mean that as I add more text and more images, that they will all flow together? The document will be expanding and contracting until it's done. At the expense of insulting someone in this forum, I can get an image to move with text or stay in an absolute position in Word (although it doesn't handle images very well, my opinion). I would expect this to work even better in this layout program. I've only been using Quark for a week, so bear with me as I learn all its idiosyncracies.

I think grouping is a red heering in this instance. Quark will treat a box embedded in text as if it were a piece of text. You can think of embedding a box as similar to inserting a single character of text at a huge point size. It WILL flow with the text.
P.S. one day soon you will think back to the time that you compared Quark unfavourably to Word and you'll wonder what you could possibly have been thinking!

I agree that the grouping might cause more problems than it fixes. I like the idea of embedding a picture box inside an image box (chuckle chuckle ... I've done this with Word - when I've wanted a table to behave like a text box that I could "drag" around where I wanted. It worked rather nicely. I sure hope that I can look back with my word comparison comments.
PS ... I'd sure like to see more "undo's". As I "play" and make errors, I have to close and reopen to get to where I "was". Is there a workaround the lack of undos. In some instances, there isn't even one undo (I think there's like, 99 undo's in Word ... that's gotta be a gotchya!).
Thanks so much for your help. I do appreciate. I usually catch on to new software rather quickly, but this one is taking more than a couple of days to find and figure out things that I need (LOL).
