The editor allows you to insert an image into your document.
How to insert an image
Place your cursor on the provision where you would like to insert the image, then either:
Right-click menu in the Editor View “Insert image”
From the upper tool bar, select Insert > Insert image
The system will present the Insert Image dialogue box where you can upload a new image or select from images that you’ve already inserted elsewhere in the document.
To insert a new image click Upload, navigate to the folder where your image is saved, select it and click Open.
The image selected must be in either jpeg or tiff format.
To insert an existing image, select it from the File list.
You must add Alternate text for all images. This is text which describes the image to assist visually-impaired users.
You can optionally add an Image caption and adjust the Width, Height and Image alignment. You can only adjust the height or the width as the system will maintain the image aspect ratio.
The system will warn you when the image quality is less than the recommended resolution of 300 dpi which required for print publishing.
How to delete an image
Click on the image in the Editor
Select ‘img block’ from the breadcrumb and press delete or backspace
The image will be removed from the document without affecting the element it was inserted in
How to update image information
Click on the edit button next to the image in the document
Make changes to any of the fields in the “Manage Image Properties” dialogue box and click Update button.
The system will update the image in the document with the changes.
Hints and tips
The system will calculate the size of the image based on its properties and will display the image at a relative size alongside the text in the Editor. The PDF will show its true size based on the mm height and width assigned.
The system will save the image files against the document version so that only users with permission to see the document will view the images.
When you duplicate a document version which contains images, these image files will be mapped to the duplicated version.
When you delete an image from the document, the image will not be removed from list of images available in the document version so can be reinserted if required.
