threading full page images in between pages

[matthewdee]

I may have asked this before in a previous post but I cannot find. I have a 330 page indd file which is made up of images and text. I have  material that needs to be added in between some of the pages  and before I attempt to do this I already know I need to have all the text threaded, which mos t is but there are some breaks. Can someone post a quick tut on how to re thread or add threading manually?

Also, I have a few pages that have full page images and are not threaded. I do not want to add anything in between and have to go back and realize images are covering text a real nightmare so I need to know how to thread the images in between so if I have to add any text or pages in the middle of the doc that ALL the images and text will move and not overlap.

for instance lets say page 33 is text only and is threaded to the next text box but that text box is on page 35. On age 34 is a full page image not a part of the thread, if I leave this the way it is it will not flow if I have to add anything as I need the full page image to flow along in sequence with the threaded text follow?

What do I connect the full page images to thread?

thx

Hi

Is this the post you were referring to?

Linking images on full pages

[matthewdee]

No never saw that but I may not be explaining myself correctly. Look at the screenshot. You will see that in between text on certain pages there are images that are full page. I have to start adding some missing content and before I do I do NOT want to strt adding and then text moves behind images and I have a nightmare on my hands. I just eed to make sure that If I add any text inbetween what I have the full page images will flow and move with the text. follow?

Ah OK What I did was made a text box , filled with text then placed an image inside the same text box. i can get the text to wrap around go over and under but I need the text AND the IMAGE to move at the same time. Is this possible, I don't see why not, see screenshot

If your picture is too big for the space left in the box after a text reflow, it will, I believe, automatically move to the next available text box (I assume these images are anchored in text boxes, or, as near as I know, and I may not know, it won't flow at all.)  There may be a way to set something in the anchored object settings  (Object, Anchored object) to help that situation.  It may that that paragraph formatting, Keep options, Keep all lines in paragraph together" may take care of it, too. Just keep the picture as part of the paragraph.  If you have to move it to a new line in the para, use a shifted return to force it to the next line without making a new paragraph.  Now, if the box is not big enough, the photo and the text should all move to the next box.

No not correct, see screenshot

I have the entire document threaded just not the full page images, I have small images on pages that are anchored and will move but i need the full page images to move with the entire document follow???

I would group the text/image elements that you want to start together. Now cut the group, click inside the threaded text frame, create an empty paragraph, and choose paste. This will paste it into the text flow as an inline object. You'll probably want to change the leading on the paragraph on which the inline graphic sits to AUTO leading so that it creates enough room for the inline object.

If you want to make your image part of the flow, just anchor it into your text flow. Whether it's a full page image or a small icon...

Please be more specific about what you can't achieve exactly.

Because this is looking more and more like a "guess what" game.
