Dragging Images To A Page; Copying And Pasting Images - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE-USING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

Dragging images to a page

You can drag an image from another source to 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" on page 72) or by copying and pasting them on the
page (see "Copying and pasting images" on page 73).
To add an image by dragging:
Reduce the size of the Contribute application window so that you can also see the application
1
that contains the image you plan to drag.
In the other application, select the image.
2
Drag the image to your Contribute draft where you want the image to appear.
3
Tip: You can't drag an image from a web browser if the image has a link attached to it. Save the image to your
computer first, then drag the image to your Contribute draft.
If the Image Description dialog box appears, enter text to describe the image for people with
4
disabilities or for people with their browsers set to display text only, then click OK.
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" on page 75.
