    Hi

    Is it possible to place more than one image one the same image box?
    Just so that I don’t have thousands of image-boxes per page.

    Thanks

    Not that I’m aware of. Each image requires it’s own image box.

    You might consider merging the images in Photoshop or something else, to make a single image. Then import that.

    Yes, you can, even in InDesign…

    1) Place all the images in InDesign.
    2) Arrange them all as per your design/style.
    3) Group all the images and cut or press “ctrl + x”
    4) Create an empty picture box and select it.
    5) Go to Edit menu and select ‘Paste Into’ or press “Alt + ctrl + v”
    6) To edit the group images in the new box, you have to press the “select content” option from the control panel.

    This way you can minimize the number of boxes… Just a fun trick :)

    I know David and Dwayne knows this, but seems they are playing tricks here… Am I right, guys :)

      Masood, you are right!
      However, technically you still have many frames. You are just grouping them and putting them into one frame. But yes, at the end, you have just one “frame” (one object).

      Masood–yup–you’re right. But, as David said, technically they are separate frames placed into one.

      But–it is a good workaround.

      Yes,you both are right, technically, but the trick is to get the balls rolling.

    It is perfect Ahmad :D
    I’m using the white arrow tool and hold cmd to move the images inside.
    But, as David says, I still have the frames around the images.
    Well, this question was asked to me by a colleague and I still don’t understand why he wanted such thing.
    I guess he wanted a situation like in photoshop when you have a big container (the document canvas) with the images inside that are editable but without the frame around.

    thanks guys ;-)
