To insert a picture into an HTML document, use the ribbon command Insert | group Objects | Picture as usual. For more information, see Pictures. However, you should take note of the following points:
▪The picture should be in the same folder as the document
| If possible, the picture should be in the folder where the document is saved. |
| So copy the picture there manually before integrating it or simply select the option Copy to document's folder in the dialog box of the ribbon command Insert | group Objects | Picture, and TextMaker will do it automatically for you. |
▪The picture should not be saved in the document
| Furthermore, you should not use the option Save within document, as picture files cannot be saved within HTML documents. |
Which picture file format?
On the Internet, pictures are usually stored in one of the following file formats: GIF, JPEG or PNG. All of these formats save the picture information in compressed form and thus significantly reduce picture file sizes.
▪The GIF format is most appropriate for smaller pictures and letterings with a maximum of 256 colors. It uses a lossless compression method that does not impair image quality.
▪The JPEG format is most appropriate for photographs and other large images in true colors. However, the compression method used here is not lossless – the higher the selected compression ratio, the worse the image quality.
▪The PNG format is the most versatile picture file format. It comes in various sub-formats with different types of compression (both lossless and lossy).
Use pictures in one of these file formats if possible, as other formats are not supported by all browsers.
