Inserting pictures from the gallery/camera (Android and iOS)

Note: This function is available only in the Android and iOS version.

With the Android/iOS version, you can also insert pictures via the Gallery or Camera application on your device.

To do so, proceed as follows:

Inserting a picture from the gallery

1.Position the text cursor where you want to insert the graphic.
2.Choose the command Insert | group Objects | Picture dropdown_arrow | From gallery. Before doing so, disable Insert as frame in the dropdown menu if it is enabled.
3.Your Android/iOS device automatically opens its Gallery app. Select the desired picture by tapping on it.

The picture is now inserted.

Inserting a picture from the camera

1.Position the text cursor where you want to insert the picture.
2.Choose the command Insert | group Objects | Picture dropdown_arrow | From camera. Before doing so, disable Insert as frame in the dropdown menu if it is enabled.
3.Your Android/iOS device automatically opens its Camera app. Take a picture.

The picture is now inserted.

Inserting as a picture frame

The aforementioned procedure inserts the picture directly into the body text. Alternatively, you can include the picture as a picture frame. Proceed as described above using the command Insert | Picture dropdown_arrow | From gallery (or From camera), but first enable Insert as frame in the dropdown menu.

The difference is that pictures frames are fixed at a fixed position on the page, thus they don't move when you insert or delete text above them. This type of manipulation is useful, for example, for newspaper-style documents.
