my query earlier today re. images in Pro document

[poultney]

I am an entry level user, have searched so far unsuccessfully for answers to three questions on photos placed on successive text pages in a booklet:

1. How to place (and eventually edit) a border (or frame) around a photo, whether the photo is floating or fixed?

2. How to resize the photo/image yet keep it in proportion?

3. How to block successive pages for photos and have text jump from the preceding page to the succeeding page, even though the text may later be edited down (or up)?

I look at these questions and weep for they seem so simple. "There was a time when I would have caught all three"

didn't keep a copy of my message, but just to let you know that I have found the answer to one of the three questions in the help manual (resizing images while respecting the proportions). Please ignore and delete this from the list, so that leaves just two questions.

1. How to place (and eventually edit) a border (or frame) around a photo, whether the photo is floating or fixed?

Unfortunately NWP currently only allows you to add a border to a floating images/shapes. This is an artificial limitation, and one we hope to remove in the future.

2. How to resize the photo/image yet keep it in proportion?

It seems you already found the answer, but for the benefit of others: just hold down the Shift key while you resize the image to maintain proportions.

3. How to block successive pages for photos and have text jump from the preceding page to the succeeding page, even though the text may later be edited down (or up)?

I'm not sure I understand exactly, but you can use Page Breaks to ensure that an inline image has its own exclusive page, without any text appearing before/after it on that same page.

However, if you're asking how to have an image remain fixed on a single page, regardless of what kind of editing occurs to text before that shape, that's not possible; a floating image is always positioned relative to its anchoring paragraph.

We're always happy to answer any questions that come up.

Many thanks. Much appreciated. Looking forward to being able to frame fixed pictures when you can offer this.
