To place an image in the content, drag it from the Images folder on the Resources pane
to the content and drop it. The image will be inserted in the template at the position of the
cursor.
Via the Select Image dialog
To either import an image into a template or use an external image in a template, the Select
Image dialog can be used:
1. Position the cursor in the content where you want the image to be inserted.
2.
On the Insert menu, click Image. Or, click the Insert Image button on the toolbar. The
Select Image dialog appears.
3.
Click Resources, Disk or Url, depending on where the image is located.
l
Resources lists the images that are present in the Images folder on the Resources
pane.
l
Disk lists image files that reside in a folder on a hard drive that is accessible from
your computer. Click the Browse button to select a folder (or an image in a folder).
As an alternative it is possible to enter the path manually. The complete syntax
is:file://<host>/<path>. Note: if the host is"localhost", it can be omitted, resulting
infile:///<path>, for example: file:///c:/resources/images/image.jpg.
l
Url lists image files from a specific web address. Select the protocol (http or https),
and then enter a web address (for example,
http://www.mysite.com/images/image.jpg).
4.
With an external image, you can check the option Save with template. If this option is
checked, the file will be inserted in the Images folder on the Resources pane at the top
left.
If not saved with the template, the image will remain external. Note that external images
need to be available when the template is merged with a record set to generate output,
and that their location should be accessible from the machine on which the template's
output is produced. External images are updated (retrieved) at the time the output is
generated.
5. Select the image from the list.
6. If the image is a PDF file that consists of more than one page, select the desired page.
7.
Click Finish. The image will be inserted at the position of the cursor.
