Inserting a picture into the text
To insert a picture directly into the body text, do the following:
1. Move the text cursor to the desired position.
2. Invoke Object > New Picture.
3. A dialog box appears to enable you to select the picture to be inserted. Enter the
picture file name or select a file from the list.
Tip: When you check the Preview option a small preview of the currently
selected picture file is displayed in the dialog.
4. Confirm with OK.
The picture is now inserted into the text.
Picture not visible? If you can’t see the picture in the document after you have
inserted it, that is probably because you have disabled the display of pictures – in
other words, checked the Use placeholders option for pictures. To re-enable the
display of pictures, invoke File > Properties, switch to the View property sheet
and check the Show pictures option.
Picture frames: As explained in the introduction, there is an alternative way of
inserting pictures using picture frames. These are anchored at fixed positions on
the page; thus, they do not move when text above them is inserted or deleted. You
will find more information about this topic in section “Picture frames” beginning
on page 258.
Options in the dialog
The two options that are presented in the above described dialog box have the
following functions:
Save within document
If this option is checked, TextMaker saves a copy of the picture in the document
and uses this copy instead of the original.
Otherwise, TextMaker saves only a reference to the original picture file in the
document.
