Add an inline graphic


First, position the insertion point where you want the graphic to appear in the text flow.

  In the Workspace's File Viewer window, select the file that contains the graphic you want to add.   Drag the file icon from the icon path to the document window, over the text flow containing the insertion point  Or
  Choose the Paste command from the Edit menu to paste the contents of the pasteboard Or
  Choose Import from the Document menu to import an image as an inline graphic Or
  Choose the Paste and Link command from the Link menu to paste the contents of the pasteboard and link it to the original


An inline graphic is a graphic that is treated like a word in the text.
You can resize an inline graphic by selecting it and setting its scale in the Graphics Inspector.
If you drag  the graphic over an area other than the text flow containing the graphic, you will place a paged-based graphic.
When you drag  the graphic over the flow with the insertion point, that flow will highlight to indicate that the image will be placed there.
This application supports the PostScript %%Baseline comment found in some EPS files, so that in-line graphics will be correctly aligned to the baseline of the text.
You can also place inline graphics using the Import command in the Document menu.
The image you add may be in TIFF, EPS, or any file format supported by the filter services you may have installed.
Filters, which are supported in this application, are services which have no Services menu entry and which  convert a piece of data from one type to another, e.g. from GIF to TIFF. Filter services are accessed through the Paste command or thru dragging and dropping.  Filter services may be purchased from third party software vendors.
Dragging a graphic from the File Viewer creates, by default, a link to the original file.  This saves disk space and your document is kept up to date with changes to that original file. If you wish to create a copy of the original file instead of a link, hold down the Alternate key when you drop the graphic in the document.
If you have already created a link and want to make that a copy, use the Graphics List Panel.
You can delete an inline graphic from the document by pressing the Backspace key to back up over it just like deleting a character in the text flow.
If you want to add only part of a graphics image to a document, you can select the part in the source application and use the Copy and Paste commands in the Edit menu.
