To insert a picture directly into the body text, proceed as follows:
| 1. | Move the text cursor to the desired position. |
| 2. | On the ribbon tab Insert | group Objects | Picture  , click on the arrow of the icon. |
In the dropdown menu, disable Insert as frame  if it is enabled. |
| 3. | In the dropdown menu, select From file. |
| 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. |
| 4. | The program displays a dialog box in which you specify the picture to be inserted. Select the desired picture file and confirm with OK. |
The picture is now inserted into the text.
Isn't the picture visible? If you can't see the picture in the document after you have inserted it, you have probably disabled the display of pictures, that is, you have enabled the option Use placeholders for pictures. To display the pictures again, choose the ribbon command File | Properties, switch to the View tab and switch this option back to Show pictures.
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 previously. |
Inserting as picture frame
As mentioned in the introduction, pictures can also be inserted as picture frames. Proceed as described above using the ribbon command Insert | group Objects | Picture, but enable Insert as frame in the dropdown menu.
The difference is that frames are fixed at a fixed position on the page, thus they don't move when you insert or delete text above the frame.
For more information on picture frames, see Picture frames.
