Inserting Images
Inserting a Picture from Your Computer
Use the lower left corner of the dialog box to insert pictures from your computer (and any network folder available to your computer) into the editor.
NoteYou can only select files in the To Select a Local File: field if your computer has permission to upload files to the server.
To insert a picture from your computer, follow these steps.
Your Webmaster can set a maximum size (in kilobytes) for images. If you select an image that exceeds the maximum, an error message appears and you cannot insert it.
Your Webmaster can also restrict the type of image file you can insert. For example, if your Webmaster does not authorize you to insert bitmap (.bmp) files and you try to do so, an error message lists valid file extensions, and you cannot insert the image.
- Click in the Enter a description for the file field. Enter a title to describe the file.
- After you insert the picture, the title appears in the dialog box's top left corner to identify the picture to you and all users connected to the same Web server.
NoteThe title is also the alt text for the image. The alt text appears in place of the image on the Web page if the image itself cannot display for any reason.
- Information about the picture's file size, width and height appears in the upper right corner of the dialog box.
- If you want to view a picture before inserting it, click Preview (on the right side of the dialog box).
- Click OK.
- The Picture Properties dialog box reappears. Here, you can change the picture's properties. For more information, see
