Managing the Gallery
Adding an image to the Gallery
You may wish to add to the Gallery any images that you use frequently, for example, a company
logo. You can then very easily insert these graphics into a document later.
You can add images only to “My Theme” or to any other theme that you have created; these are
indicated by a green icon in the list of themes. You cannot add images to the built-in themes,
indicated by an icon of another color.
Method 1 (selecting a file)
1) Open the Gallery and select the theme where you want to add images. (You can also
create a new theme for your images; see page 264.)
2) Right-click on the desired theme and select Properties in the context menu. This displays
a dialog box from which to select the files to be added.

3) On the Files page, click the Find Files button. The Select path dialog box (not shown)
opens.
4) You can enter the path for the file’s directory in the Path text box, or you can navigate to
locate the file’s directory.
5) Click the Select button to start the search. A list of graphic files is then displayed in the
window. You can use the File type filter to limit the files displayed.
6) To add all of the files shown in the list, click Add All. Otherwise, select the files to add and
then click Add. (Hold down either the Shift key or the Control key while you click on the
files.)
