Adding objects to the Gallery
You may wish to add to the Gallery any images that you use frequently, for example, a company
logo. You can then very easily insert these graphics into a document later.
You can add images only to “My Theme” or to any other theme that you have created; these are
indicated by a differently colored icon from the defaults, in the list of themes. You cannot add
images to the built-in themes.
Method 1 (selecting a file)
1) Right-click on the desired theme and select Properties from the context menu.
2) In the theme’s Properties dialog, go to the Files page and click the Find Files button.
3) The Select path dialog (not shown) opens. You can enter the path for the file’s directory in
the Path text box, or you can navigate to locate the file’s directory.
4) Click the Select button to start the search. A list of graphic files is then displayed in the
Properties dialog. You can use the File type drop-down list to limit the files displayed.
5) To add all of the files shown in the list, click Add All. Otherwise, select the files to add and
then click Add. (Hold down either the Shift key or the Ctrl key while you click on the files.)

Method 2 (drag and drop)
You can drag and drop an image into the Gallery from a document.
1) Open the document containing an image you want to add to the Gallery, and display the
Gallery theme to which you want to add it.
2) Position the mouse pointer above the image, without clicking.
3) If the mouse pointer changes to a hand symbol, the image refers to a hyperlink. In this
case, press the Alt key while you click the image, to select it without activating the link. If
the mouse pointer does not change to a hand symbol, you can simply click the image to
select it.
4) Once the image is selected, evident from the colored selection handles around it, release
the mouse button. Click again on the image, keeping the mouse button pressed for more
than two seconds. Without releasing the mouse button, drag the image into the Gallery.
5) Release the mouse button.
Deleting images from the Gallery
To delete an image from a theme that you created:
1) Right-click on the name of the image file or its thumbnail in the Gallery.
2) Click Delete in the context menu. A message appears, asking if you want to delete this
object. Click Yes.
Note
Deleting the name of a file from the list in the Gallery does not delete the file from
the hard disk or other location. This includes the drag-drop folder in the Gallery.
