Adding images to topics

Images add interest and further explanation to your topics. You add each image to your project and place it in the topic you want. You can use .GIF files, .JPEG or .JPG, .BMP files, and more. See Using images in your topics for more information.

To add an image to a topic:

Click where you want to place the image in the topic.
Click Insert Image . The Image dialog opens, displaying the names of graphic files that are used in other topics in the project.
Select an image from those already in the project or add a new one.

If you are adding an existing image (one used in other topics), select the project folder that contains the image from Images in project folders and then double-click the image.
If you are adding an image not currently in your project, click , navigate to the drive/folder where the image is located, and double-click to select it. (If prompted to copy the image into the project folder, click Yes.)

Tips:

The Images in project folders list displays the names of all images in the selected folder. If you want to review images in a different folder, you can. From Images in project folders, click a folder to select it.
If the image is used in at least one other topic in the current project, you can add it to the topic by dragging and dropping the file from the Image folder (Project Manager) into the topic.
There are also a variety of graphic files included with RoboHELP that you can add to your project. To preview them, click the Gallery tab on the Image dialog, select the category you want to review, then click the file name you want. The image is displayed in the Preview pane. If you want to add the file to your project, click OK.
