Image Manager
The Image Manager is a repository for commonly used images that you can insert into documents as buttons, check boxes or radio buttons. You can access the Image Manager in Design Mode by clicking Tools | Images on the ribbon.
The Image Manager supports the following image types:
- Bitmap (.BMP)
- JPEG (.JPG, .JFF, .JTF)
- Portable Network Graphics (.PNG)
- TIFF (.TIF)
- Content Migration Package (.CMP)
- Microsoft Paint (.MSP)
To add an image to the Image Manager:
- On the ribbon, click Tools | Images.
- The Image Manager displays. Click Add, then navigate to the location of the image you want to add. Select the image and click Open.
- In the Label field, enter a unique identifier for the image. Note that the identifier is case sensitive.
- In the Transparency group, select Use Transparency Color and specify the background color of your image to make it appear transparent in the document. If the background of your image is already transparent (supported by .PNG and .BMP files), select Use Existing Alpha Channels instead to retain the transparency. Click OK.
