Using the Insert menu or Image button to add images to a page

You can use the Insert menu or Image button in the toolbar to add an image from your computer or website to a page. If you have already inserted an image in a page in a Contribute website, and you want to reuse the image, use the Insert > Image > From Website command.

You can add images from other sources by dragging them to the page (see Dragging images to a page), or by copying and pasting them on the page (see Copying and pasting images).

To add an image using the Insert menu or Image button:

  1. Place the insertion point in your draft where you want the image to appear.
  2. Do one of the following:
  3. Select From My Computer or From Website from the pop-up menu.
  4. The Select Image or Choose Image from Website dialog box appears.

  5. Browse to and select the image, then click the Select or OK button.
  6. 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, then click OK.
  7. The image appears on your draft.

    If the image is from your computer, Contribute copies the image to an images folder on your website when you publish the draft. You cannot edit the image in Contribute until you publish the draft. If the image is from your website, you can edit the image in Contribute before you publish. For more information, see Editing an image.

Tip: After you insert the image, select the image, then click the Image button and select either option from the pop-up menu to change image properties. For more information, see Changing image properties.
