How To Insert an Image

  1. Place your cursor at the point where you want to insert the image. (It is easiest to insert the image on a line by itself.)
  2. Go to the Insert menu and choose Image
  3. A dialog box pops up. Click the Select image button.
  4. Another dialog box pops up. Navigate to the image file that you want to use and select it.
  5. From the Align drop-down menu, choose default, left or right. The default alignment is centered.
  6. If desired, choose a border width.
  7. Enter an alternative text label for the image.
  8. Enter a longer description of the image. (The alternative text and long description are used by special software programs that read pages to visually impaired users.)
  9. The width and height of the image in pixels is also listed in the dialog box. If the image is too big, you can resize it by entering a different number of pixels into either the height or width boxes. (Softchalk will automatically change the other dimension to maintain the scale of the image.)
  10. Click OK
