this dialog box.

Placing documents

Use the Place command to incorporate a document stored on disk into an open Canvas document.

With the Place command, you can insert a Canvas document, an image, or a non-Canvas illustration

document; e.g., you can place a document containing your company logo within a document in which

you are preparing a sales brochure.

The Place command lets you visually set the location and dimensions of the incorporated document.

You can also control which layers, pages, or slides to place, and whether to place them on the

current layer, page, or slide, or on new ones, depending on the document type (Illustration,

Publication, Animation, or Presentation).

If you place one Canvas document type (Illustration, Publication, Animation, or Presentation) into

another document type, Canvas converts the placed pages, sheets, or slides to the format of the

current document. Document pages (and sheets or slides) can be added to the current document,

along with their layers.

To place a file in an open Canvas document:

1. Choose File | Place.

2. In the Place dialog box, select the file that you want to place and then click Place.

3. If the file has more than one page or layer,in the Place Options dialog box, configure the

options and then click OK.

4. Position the Place cursor in the open document where you want the top-left corner of the

placed file to be.

5. Click to place the file at its original size; Canvas inserts the upper-left corner of the file at the

point you click.

To define the dimensions of the file you’re placing:

Drag to create a bounding box. Canvas inserts the file and scales it to fit the bounding box.
