Inserting an Image in the Rich Text Editor

You may insert an image directly into the material you are creating. To insert an image, follow these steps:

1. Position the cursor where you want the image to be displayed.
   
2. Click the Insert Image icon (). The editor displays the Image Properties window.
   
   
3. Choose one of these options:
   • To link to an image in an external URL (one not in the CLE), type or paste the URL into the URL box.
   • To link to an image stored in Resources in any site to which you belong, click Browse Server. When the editor displays the Browse Server window, click the name of the image you want.
     
4. Check the appearance of the image in the Preview box.
   
   
5. If desired, take advantage of these options, check the results in the Preview box, and continue to change until you like the results:
   • To change the size of the image, enter numbers in the Width and Height boxes. To restore the original size, click the Reset icon (). To lock this size, click the Lock icon ().
   • To add a black border around the image, enter a number in the Border box.
   • To add blank space on both sides of the image, enter a number in the HSpace box.
   • To add blank space above and below the image, enter a number in the VSpace box.
   • To position the image with regard to the text and entire screen, select an option from the Align pulldown list.
     
     
6. To complete the selection, click OK. Or, to exit without linking, click Cancel. If you clicked OK, the editor displays the image as you have indicated.
   To insert a flash movie, follow the same steps as above, but choose the Insert Flash icon () and expect the editor to display the Flash Properties window. This window offers fewer choices for changing the display than does the Image Properties window.
