Formatting Pictures

Creating graphics

You place graphics in a publication the same way you place text boxes: first, you draw a container for the picture, and then you insert the picture itself:

1. On the Objects toolbar, click the Picture Frame  button and select Picture from File.

2. Click and drag a picture box the size you want.

When you release the mouse button, the Insert Picture dialog opens.

3. Browse to and select the picture you want to insert.
4. Click Insert.

The picture appears in the box:

Depending on the dimensions of the picture and the box you drew, the box may adjust to fit the picture.

Tip:

When working with pre-designed publications, you can quickly replace placeholder pictures by right-clicking the picture and selecting Change Picture and then From File from the shortcut menu. This opens the Insert Picture dialog, where you can select a new picture.
