Inserting Images
The Editor allows you to add images to your documents in an easy and intuitive way.
In order to insert an image, simply press the button on the toolbar. The Image Properties dialog window will open. Click on Browse Server to upload a new image or browse existing files on the server. (For more information on Uploading files, formatting images, or resizing images, refer to the File Manager in the Reference manual.) Click on the file name to select it and insert the file name into the Image Properties dialog box. You can configure the image's appearance, link properties, etc., based on the information below.
The Image Properties dialog window includes three tabs that group image options: Image Info, Link, and Advanced. Only "Image Info" is necessary. "Link" and "Advanced" are optional. "Advanced" is recommended for advanced users only.
Image Info
The Image Info tab is the default tab that opens after you press the button on the toolbar. It allows you to set the image URL and configure the way it will appear in the document.
Below is an overview of all Image Info tab elements:

Link
The Link tab lets you assign a link to an image inserted into the document, effectively converting the image into a clickable link. The link can point to any kind of object available in the Internet, like a simple URL address, a PDF document, or an online video.NOTE: It is optional to add a link while inserting an image into the document. If you DO NOT wish for the image to be linked, the following associated options are also not necessary for inserting the image as-is.
To use the Link function, first insert an image into a document using the Image Info tab. After you configure the display options, switch to the Link tab and configure the image target using the available options.

To edit an image that is already in your document, right click on the image and select the Image Properties option. The Image Properties window will allow you to modify both the image and any link assigned to it.
Advanced
The Advanced tab lets you configure additional image options such as assign it an ID, a class, a longer description, a tooltip, or CSS style properties. It is meant for advanced users with knowledge of HTML as well as CSS, and gives nearly endless possibilities as far as the presentation of the image is concerned.
The following is an overview of all Advanced tab elements:
- Id – specifies the ID of the image.
- Language Direction – sets the language direction from left to right ( LTR ) or from right to left ( RTL ).
- Language Code – specifies the language code.
- Long Description URL – specifies the description of the page.
- Stylesheet Classes – specifies the name of the CSS class.
- Advisory Title – specifies the description of the target object.
- Style – specifies the style.
