Adding New Images

When preparing an image to add to the page, there are a few things to consider:

  • The image should be the final size that it will be on the page. Do not scale the image up or down after it’s been placed.
  • The image must be in a “saved for web” format, either in .jpg .gif or .png format, with a file size no larger than 50k.
  • Images that are not yours (obtained from other sources) must not be under copyright. If they are, you must have permission and must add a note attributing the image to the copyright holder.

At the bottom of the Image File frame is the Upload area. Click on the Browse button to navigate to the location where you’ve stored the desired image. Click on the image file and then click Open. Go back the the Image File frame and click Start Upload.

The image will now appear in the Image File frame – click on the image and then click the Insert button at the top right. The image will now show up in the page where your cursor was located.

If you wanted the image to appear on a line of its own, all you need to do is position it left, right or centered (it’ll be placed on the left side by default). To adjust the positioning, click on the placed image and then the Justify Center or Justify Right iconsJustify Icon imagein the editor toolbar.

If you wish the image to be positioned in the text block (with text wrapping around it), click on the image and then click the Insert/Edit Image buttonImage Manager iconin the toolbar. The Image Manager frame will open:

To place the image within the text block on the left side, select Left in the Alignment drop-down. In the Margin fields, deselect Equal Values and then enter a value of 10 in the Right field. The click Update at the bottom of the Image Manager frame and your image should be in the correct position. To place the image at the right side, simply select Right and enter 10 into the Left field.

To delete an image that’s already been placed, just select the image and click the Delete key on your keyboard.
