Inserting bitmap images

A bitmap image can be inserted into a document. You can also edit the image using tools on the Properties panel.

  1. Click Create > Graphic from File.
  2. Select the file. In the Files of type field, you can restrict the selection to certain file types.
  3. Select the Link check box if you want a link to the original file. When the Link field is selected, if the document is updated and loaded, then the bitmap image is reloaded. The editing steps that you have carried out in the local copy of the image in the document are re-applied and the image is displayed. When the Link field is cleared, you are always working with the copy that was created when the graphic was first inserted. To embed graphics that were first inserted as links, click Edit > Links and click the Break Link button.
  4. Click Open to insert the image. When you select the bitmap image, the Properties panel provides you with the tools for editing the image. Only a local copy is edited in the document, even if you have inserted an image as a link.
