1. Look up the image file on your computer and drag the image file from the Explorer to the
Images folder on the Resources pane at the top left.
2.
To place the image in the content, drag it from the Images folder on the Resources pane
to the content and drop it.
To import a remotely stored image, see "Using external images" below.
Using external images
An external image is an image that is not saved within the template file. It is located either on a
specific website (URL) or on a hard drive that is accessible from the machine on which the
template's output is produced.
When external images are used, they are updated (retrieved) when the template is merged with
a record set to generate output.
To use an external image:
1. Position the cursor in the template where you want the image to be inserted.
2.
On the menu, select Insert > Image > From address, or on the toolbar, click the Insert
Image from address button. The Insert Image from Address dialog appears.
3.
Enter the URL. This can either be
l a web address (http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg), or
l a local path, for example: file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg. The complete syntax
is:īfile://<host>/<path>. If the host isī"localhost", it can be omitted, as it is in the
example, resulting inīfile:///<path>. The empty string is interpreted as `the machine
from which the URL is being interpreted'.
4.
Enter an alternate text. This text will be shown in emails and on web pages at the
position of the image while the image is loading and when the image is not found. On
web pages, alternate texts are also used for accessibility.
5.
Click Finish. The image will be inserted at the current position of the cursor in the
template.
For information about referring to images in HTML or in a script, see "Resources" on page 442.
Styling an image
Images can be styled using the Format > Image menu item. They have a border, margin and
padding; see "Border" on page 413 and "Spacing" on page 422. Images can also be left-
aligned or right-aligned, just like boxes.
