This shouldn' be complicated but I don't know how to scroll up and down a text box and few pictures at the same time within a frame.
The text scrolls but the pictures don't, so the text lines don't match with the pictures when I move up and down.

Isma --

For those who would like to scroll both Text Objects and Images, I'll mention a few of the basics:

First, create a Text Object and insert all your text. Since you probably have more text than will fit on your screen, use your CTrL key AND then drag the bottom of your Text Object off the bottom of your screen/Page.

Within this enlarged Text Object, you can now add Image Objects on top of your previously created text. Once again, you may need to use the CTrL key AND drag the Image Objects down to where you want them within the text.

Here's the third step: Highlight/Select the Text Object and ALL of your Image Objects, then Right Mouse click, and first select "Group" then select "Group Objects as a Frame."

Now all you have to do is highlight your new Frame Object and click on "Vertical Scrollbar" in the center tool bar (the icon looks like a vertical scrollbar).

Since your Frame Object is larger than your screen/Page, hold down your CTrl key and use your Left Mouse to drag the bottom of it up, onto the Page. Notice the Scroll Bar Thumb will change its size/position.

Go ahead and Preview your work. When you scroll, the text and images will move together -- just like you wanted.
