Copying and pasting images

You can copy an image from another source, then paste it on your Contribute page.

You can also add images by using the Insert menu or Image button (see Using the Insert menu or Image button to add images to a page) or by dragging them to the page (see Dragging images to a page).

To add an image by copying and pasting:

  1. In the application that contains the image you want to copy, select the image.
  2. Select Edit > Copy.
  3. Place the insertion point in your Contribute draft where you want the image to appear.
  4. Select Edit > Paste.
  5. If the Image Description dialog box appears, enter text to describe the image for people with disabilities or for people with their browsers set to display text only, and click OK.
  6. The image appears on your draft, and Contribute copies the image to an images folder on your website, if it’s not already there.

    If the image is from your website, you can edit the image in Contribute before you publish the draft. If the image is from another source, you cannot edit the image in Contribute until you publish. For more information, see Editing an image.
