Image and Objects (Photos, Graphics, Charts, Etc)

You must embed all images and objects.  Linking must NOT be used. 

• A good way to insert a picture is to use the “Insert Picture from File” button on the Picture toolbar or the “InsertàPictureàFrom File…” menu command.  Be sure to click the “Insert” button without clicking the down-arrow on that button.
• A good way to insert an object from a file is to use the “InsertàObject…” menu command.  Choose the “Create from File” option and do NOT checkmark the “Link” option.
• If you “copy” an image or object from another application such as Microsoft Excel, you should use the “EditàPaste Special…” menu command.  Make sure “Paste” is selected instead of “Paste link”.  In the list box, if there is an option that includes the word “Object” in the name, choose that.  Otherwise, choose “Picture (Enhanced Metafile)” if available.
• If you use another method of including an image or object, do NOT use or enable any option that includes the word “link”.

You should limit your images to the following file formats as the use of any other format may result in the image being not able to display:

• Enhanced Metafile (.emf)
• Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)
• Joint Photographic Experts Group (.jpg)
• Portable Network Graphics (.png)
• Windows Bitmap (.bmp, .rle, .dib)
• Windows Metafile (.wmf) graphics
