Add a page-based graphic


First, click in the margin (outside of any text area), select Edit Stop Editing, or press the ESC key, so there is no insertion point.

  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, where you'd like the center of the graphic to appear  Or
  Choose the Paste command from the Edit menu to paste the contents of the pasteboard in the center of the view Or
  Choose the Paste and Link command from the Link menu to paste the contents of the pasteboard in the center of the view and link it to the original


Page-based graphics stay fixed on the page, they do not flow with text.
You can resize a graphic by selecting it and then dragging one of the eight "handles", , that appear around the graphic's bounding box.  Dragging a corner handle will preserve the images proportions.  You can also resize a graphic by setting it's Scale in the Graphics Inspector.
If you drag  the graphic over a text flow containing the blinking cursor, that text area will highlight indicating that you would place an inline graphic.  Regardless of whether there is a blinking cursor, if you drag a graphic over the margin area, you will place a page-based graphic.
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.  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.  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 a graphic from the document by selecting the graphic with the mouse and selecting Cut from the Edit menu.
If you want to add only part of a graphics image to a document, you can select the part and use the Copy and Paste commands in the Edit menu.
