Inserting picture frames

To insert a picture frame, proceed as follows:

1.On the ribbon tab Insert | group Objects | Picture picture_insert_icon, click on the arrow of the icon.
In the dropdown menu, select the Insert as frame checkbox check_box_crossed.
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.
