To add a shape, table, or chart inline with the text:
1 Place the insertion point wherever you want the object to appear in the text flow.
2 Select the object you want to add:
 For shapes, choose Insert > Shape > [shape type] (or click Objects in the toolbar and
choose a shape).
 For tables, choose Insert > Table (or click Objects in the toolbar and choose Table).
 For charts, choose Insert > Chart (or click Objects in the toolbar and choose Chart),
and then select a chart type in the Chart Inspector.
To place a fixed text box, shape, table, or chart:
1 Click anywhere outside the text areas of the document so that no insertion point is
visible.
2 Select the object you want to add:
 For text boxes, choose Insert > Text (or click Objects in the toolbar and choose Text).
 For shapes, choose Insert > Shape > [shape type] (or click Objects in the toolbar and
choose a shape).
 For tables, choose Insert > Table (or click Objects in the toolbar and choose Table).
 For charts, choose Insert > Chart (or click Objects in the toolbar and choose Chart),
and then select a chart type in the Chart Inspector.
A text box, shape, table, or chart appears on the page.
3 Drag the object to wherever you want it to appear on the page.
Note: You can also Option-click the Objects button in the toolbar. Release the Option
key, and then choose a shape, Text, Table, or Chart. Drag the crosshair pointer across
the document window to draw the object wherever you want it. This produces a fixed
object.
You can modify the colors, opacity, outline, and shadows of shapes and text boxes
using the Graphic Inspector. For more information about setting a shapes attributes,
see Chapter 7, “Changing Object Properties.” To learn about adding text inside a shape,
see “Putting Text Inside a Shape” on page 68.
You can change the number of rows and columns in a table, and change the table’s
design and formatting, using the Table Inspector. For more information about
designing tables, see Chapter 8, “Creating Tables.”
