Embedding pictures
To embed a picture into your content, use one of the following methods:
• drag the picture or a picture file to the body
• copy the picture to the clipboard, then choose Edit > Paste or Paste Special
• click the location in the body where you want the picture to appear, then choose Edit > Insert > Insert File.
How pictures are embedded
The file format of an embedded picture depends on how you embedded the picture.
If your content has a background, and you want your embedded picture to be transparent, embed the picture as .png, and don't make it a thumbnail.
Changing picture properties
You can change the following properties of an embedded picture:
• the picture size
Drag the borders of a selected picture to resize it.
You can also thumbnail the picture.
• the picture alignment (right, left, or aligned within the text so that the picture flows along the line with the text)
• the width of the blank space (padding) around the picture
If the picture is in a paragraph by itself, you can also adjust the spacing above it by changing the paragraph spacing.
• text that describes the picture.
To change picture properties:
1 Select the picture by clicking it.
2 Choose Format > Format Image.
3 Update the Format Image form.
You can also change the properties of a placeholder for an unsupported file type. Choose Format > Format Embedded File to open the Format Embedded File form (which is similar to the Format Image form).
