A bitmap image can be inserted into a document.
You can
also edit the image using tools on the Properties panel.
- Click .
- Select
the file. In the Files of type field,
you can restrict the selection to certain file types.
- 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 and
click the Break Link button.
- 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.
