Adding Pictures to Page Layout Frames

If you want to insert a picture so that it automatically appears in several (or all) pages in the output, you can create an image frame in a page layout. See About Page Layouts.

How to add pictures to page layout frames

1. Open the page layout.

   The Page Layout Editor opens.

2. In the local toolbar, click the New Frame button .

3. In the drop-down, select New Image Frame.

   The Insert Picture dialog opens, prompting you to provide an image file.

4. Select an image file to insert. You can do this in one of the following ways:

   • Select an image already in the project by finding and selecting it in the built-in tree.

     OR

   • Click to find and select an image file outside of the project.

   Note: If you want to select an image file that you recently inserted somewhere in your project, click the down arrow in the field next to the Browse button and select the file from the list.

5. Click OK.

   The picture is added to a frame of the same size, which you can place on the page as necessary.

6. Press CTRL+S or click to save your work.

Note: In addition to using image frames, you can open other content frames (header, footer, decoration) and insert pictures as you normally would. See Adding Text and Content to Frames.

WHAT'S NEXT?

After adding an image frame, you will likely want to modify it. This might mean resizing or repositioning the frame, adding a border, and more. See Editing Pages and Frames.
