To insert a picture frame, proceed as follows:
1. | On the ribbon tab Insert | group Objects | Picture , click on the arrow of the icon. |
| In the dropdown menu, select the Insert as frame checkbox . |
2. | Select From file from the dropdown menu. |
| Tip: You can also choose this command by clicking on the icon itself. However, you cannot enable or disable the option Insert as frame. The last set state is automatically applied. |
3. | A dialog box appears. Select the desired picture file and confirm with OK. |
4. | The picture frame is now inserted. |
| You can then move or resize the frame: |
| To move it, click on the picture frame with the mouse, and then drag it (while still holding down the mouse button) to the desired position. |
| To adjust its size, drag one of the round handles surrounding the picture frame. |
A picture frame is allowed to easily cover existing text – this is then automatically wrapped in such a way that it flows around the frame.
Options of the dialog box
The options in the above dialog box mean the following:
▪Save within document
| If this option is enabled, TextMaker saves a copy of the picture in the document and uses this copy instead of the original. |
| If it is disabled, TextMaker saves only a reference to the original picture file in the document. |
▪Copy to document's folder
| If this option is enabled, TextMaker creates a copy of the picture file in the folder where the document is located and uses this copy instead of the original. |
| This option is available only if the document has already been saved. |
Scanning pictures/Selecting source
By using the small arrow of the Insert | group Objects | Picture icon, you not only find the option From file, but also the entries From scanner and Select source that let you scan originals directly into a document. For more information, see Scanning pictures.
