Some text formatting features do not apply to inserted pictures. •   If you scale the surrounding text, an inserted picture does not distort or scale with the text. •   Spread and Overprint commands do not affect inserted pic- tures. •   Strokes or inks applied to the text don’t affect inserted pic- tures. •   Inserted pictures might not be imported from the Clipboard by other applications. When the insertion point is in a text object and you choose the Insert Picture command, Canvas inserts the contents of the Clipboard as a raster image into the text. Because Canvas converts the Clipboard contents to a raster image when you use Insert Picture, you cannot edit objects that have been inserted into text. For example, if you insert a multigon object into text, you can’t use editing handles to reshape or scale it. If you insert text characters using the Insert Picture command, the inserted text characters are not editable. Inserting a picture into text The Insert Picture command is available when any object is on the Clipboard and the insertion point is in a text object. 1 Select the object or objects that you want to insert into text. 2 Choose Edit > Cut or Edit > Copy to place the selection on the Clipboard. If you selected multiple objects, they become a single composite graphic when inserted into text. 3 Select the Text tool in the toolbox. Click in the text where you want to insert the graphic. An insertion point appears where you click. 4 Choose Text > Insert Picture. The Clipboard contents appear at the insertion point. How inserted pictures affect leading When you use the Insert Picture command, the leading of the para- graph might change, depending on the Line spacing method: Text with an inserted picture Insertion point
