Is there a way to make the images able to be moved and not trapped in cells. Im studying anatomy, so i'm pulling a lot of images and diagrams off of lecture powerpoints and sticking them in my notes, but with them in cells, the text and pictures end up as a mess. How can i make the images float the way that they would in microsoft word?
Got a tip for us?

Obviously with Circus Ponies as the title, the OP is using Notebook.
Try using Note pages rather than Writing pages or Cornell note pages. It will allow you to import and change wrap and alignment, but it is not as simple as moving the Shapes around the screen.

I know this is a mega old thread, but I was trying to do the same thing and couldn't find anything that lead me in the right direction. I finally found a way to do it, so I'm posting this in case anyone finds this through search.
What I needed was to put several images in a single page in Circus Ponies Notebook, where I could move each one around in whatever order I wanted instead of they being locked into cells.
The way to do it... and it's not perfect, but works for me... is this:
You need to have a generic image you can use in all your pages. I just use a very small version of my logo, but anything will work. Ideally it'll be a small, long banner.
Drop this image into your Notebook and when prompted, choose "Add for Annotation". This will create a new page with this image in the left-hand corner. You won't be able to move this one... hence why it should be small and generic.
Now, you can drag and drop any image into this page and it'll be a "floating" image. You can move it around and place it anywhere you want now.
Hope that helps.

Hold the shift key while dragging the image onto your page.
EDIT: You can even set a preference to make this Notebook's default behavior: http://twitpic.com/xwrqu
EDIT 2: Your images might lose some information (especially vector formats like PDF) because Notebook will convert everything to TIFF.

Thanks so much! I was looking for an alternative to onenote after moving to mac, and CP's notebook seemed like a acceptable compromise. I really missed the quick clipping and pasting feature of Onenote, but with Skitch and your instructions I have managed to do almost the same thing 
Thanks
Thanks
