How to Insert an Image in a Picture
Box
Capture all images with a digital camera, using a
resolution high enough to show the desired details in
each image, but not excessively high, resulting in
excessive file sizes. ISP bandwidth and mailbox
sizes are often insufficient to accommodate large
files.
1. Click a picture box in the form.
2. From the menu, click "Insert" from Excel's menu*.
A scroll-box appears.
3. From the scroll-box, select "Picture". Another
scroll-box appears.
4. Click "From File". An Explorer window opens.
5. Select the desired file.
6. Click "Insert".
7. If the picture is larger or smaller than the box in
the form, click a corner of the image and drag to
resize.
* Use the "insert" function from Excel's "Insert" menu,
not from the "Insert" available by right-clicking. When
using Windows' right-click function, a picture file
copied to the clip-board cannot be inserted or pasted,
unless the image itself (the file contents) is copied to
the clip-board.
