You can insert pictures into your document at any time. You can choose whether to embed the graphic directly in the body text or to insert it in a freely movable "frame":
▪Inserting pictures into the text
You can insert pictures directly into the body text by choosing the ribbon command Insert | Objects group | Picture. To do so, click on the small arrow of the icon and disable Insert as frame in the dropdown menu. |
Write treats a picture that has been inserted with this command as if it were a letter within the text. It becomes part of the body text. Thus, if you type something right in front of the picture, it will be pushed forward like a letter in order to accommodate the text. |
▪Inserting picture frames
Alternatively, pictures can be inserted in the form of picture frames via the ribbon command Insert | group Objects | Picture. To do so, click on the small arrow of the icon and enable Insert as frame in the dropdown menu. |
By default, picture frames are anchored at fixed positions on the page – thus they do not move when text is added or deleted above them. Of course, you can move picture frames at any time. |
This chapter covers only the insertion of pictures directly into the text. For more information about picture frames, see Frames and drawings.
