Images
You can add any number of images to any number of your labels (Windows
printer drivers only).
Add images to your
design
You must complete a few steps before your image will appear on the labels the
way you want it to:
 Choose your image(s) from your Image Files folder (set up in Tools >
Options > File location tab).
 Assign a value to the image(s).
 Create a value expression for the image(s).
 Create a conditional expression for the image (optional).
The following example walks you through some of these steps.

Example To illustrate how to add images to your label, we have the following scenario: A
company is sending a mailing to customers in Wisconsin and Minnesota. To grab
their attention, they are going to place an image on the labels—a map of the state
for Minnesota customers and a wheel of cheese for Wisconsin customers.
To add these images to the appropriate labels:
1. From the Objects
window, under
Miscellany, drag and
drop the Image object
onto your layout. The
Image Properties
window appears (if
not, choose Format >
Properties).
2. Enter or build the
value expression in
Filter Builder that tells
Label Toolbox what
field needs to be
populated to print the
necessary image.
Because we are differentiating by state, we chose the field PW.State.
Now we need to choose our images and give them values to tell Label
Toolbox what to print and when.
3. Click the Add button in the Image Properties window to choose the image
you want.
Note: Images are not saved to the design file. Only the file path is stored in
the design file. You can set up an Image file directory by choosing Tools >
Options > File Locations tab. The directory you assign here becomes the
default directory.
