• The picture is inserted in the upper left corner of the label.
The inserted picture can be resized as desired. Since the field with the picture is inserted on
the Master tab, the size of the field remains the same, irrespective of the size of the picture
inserted from the database. This may cause distortion if pictures of different sizes are
inserted.
If a picture cannot be inserted from a database, for example, if the path or file cannot be found,
a blue, diagonal cross appears.
When inserting metafiles (*.wmf) from a database, please note that metafiles cannot be
rotated. If, for example both bitmaps and metafiles are inserted from one database, and they
are rotated, only the bitmaps will be rotated.
