Inserting images

Two types of file formats are almost universally supported by visual browsers: GIF and JPEG. Any image in one of these formats can be placed on a Web page. If you have a graphic you would like to use and it is in some other format (e.g., BMP, TIFF, PICT, etc.), convert the image to GIF or JPEG using a graphic converter program (several shareware programs are available for download from graphics Web sites) or a graphics program (e.g., PhotoShop, Image Composer, PhotoHouse, PaintShop Pro, etc.).

Unlike with other software applications such as Word and PowerPoint, images inserted in Web pages are not stored with the document when the file is saved. They remain separate from the HTML document and must be independently published to the Web server. As separate files, they are referenced by file name in your Web document.

Insert an image as follows:

1. Place your cursor at the point at which you want an image inserted.
2. Go to the Insert menu and choose Image.
3. Select the image file you want to insert. (If the file is not shown, browse to the appropriate folder to find the image.)
4. Click Open.
