Moving an image
An image that is added to a section behaves like a character and is part of the text flow. To
move it, simply click the image and drag and drop it somewhere else in the text flow. To learn
how to wrap text around it, see "Wrapping text around an image" on page312.
How to make an image stay at a certain position (like any image added to a Master Page) is
explained here: "Pulling an image out of the text flow" on page312. When an image has an
'absolute position' it can be moved around freely: hover over the border of the image to get a
move pointer, click that pointer and drag and drop the image somewhere else.
Styling an image
Images can be resized using the handles on the sides and corners, or via the Image Formatting
dialog, which opens when you right-click the image and select Image..., or select the Format >
Image menu item.
Images can be styled using the same dialog, or through the CSS files; see "Styling templates
with CSS files" on page287.
A number of issues related to image styling are discussed in a separate topic: "Styling an
image" on page310.
Just like many other elements, images can be given borders and rounded corners, they can
have inner and outer margins and they can be rotated. How to do this is described in general
formatting topics, such as "Border" on page315 and "Spacing" on page326. All general
formatting topics are listed under "Styling and formatting" on page286.
Note
It is recommended to resize images outside of the Designer, with image editing software.
Setting an alternate text
Once an image has been inserted in the content of a template, it can have an alternate text. The
alternate text will be shown in emails at the position of the image while the image is loading
and when the image is not found.
To set an alternative text, click the image and enter the alternate text in the Alternate text field
on the Attributes pane at the top right.
