How
to Add a Photo to Your Document
by Tim Campbell, editor
A
n attractive photo can add a touch of class and distinction to any document.
But how do you do it? It's simple and here's how.
1. Open
a new (or an existing) document
and click
your cursor where you want the image to go
2.
Go to the "Insert" menu, pull down to "Picture" and
select "From File"
3.
Navigate your way to the photo
You can use the "advanced" button to search for your
image if you've forgotten where you put it on your hard drive. It's generally
a good idea to have a central place for your images. It saves having to
search for them.
4.
Check the "Link" box if you want this option
When you link an image, the image appears in the document
but much of its information is not imported. When you print the document,
the printer will look to the image file for the image's data. The advantage
is that your document's file size won't grow much. However, if you move
the document or the image, the document may not be able find the image
and you'll have to repair the link. If you choose to simply import the
image, your document size may grow substantially but you won't need to
maintain any image links.
5.
Check the "Float over Text" box if you want this option
Choosing this option will cause your text to appear
underneath your photograph. This will obscure the text. By disregarding
this option, your text will run around the photo.
6.
Click "Insert"
The photo appears in your document and you're done!
