The Insert File Tool and the Insert Image Tool

---

Using these tools, you can insert files (such as HTML files, MS Word files, and Adobe Acrobat) and graphics files from your local file system, from shared networks and from the Web.

The difference between using the Insert File tool and the Insert Image tool is that the HTML display for the Insert Image tool is always set to In-Line.

When these files are added to your page, they are also stored as content assets in the content asset repository. For more information about the content assets, see About Content Assets.

To add a file or graphic to a page

1. In the Page Designer view, select the page to which you want to add an image. (See Step 1 and Step 2 in the To create a navigation link between Microsite Management pages procedure.)
2. From the Page Designer toolbar, drag the Insert File (or the Insert Image) tool to a position on the layout.

   The Insert File (or the Insert Graphic) dialog box appears.
3. Click the browse button next to the Asset Name field.

   The Insert Content dialog box appears.
4. Click the browse button next to the Filename field.

   The Choose File dialog box appears.
5. In the Choose File dialog box:
   • To select a file from a local directory, click Browse.
   • To select a file on a shared directory or a URL, enter the path name in the URL or network path field, and complete the fields below. (See About Configuring Content Center for information about listing shared directory names in the contentbase.ini file.)

     Some fields are described in the following table.

     Field	Description
     Retrieve Graphics	Determines if graphics on the specified Web page are copied along with the text.
     Follow Links	Determines if the pages that are linked-to from the specified Web page are copied, and in turn links to those pages are copied.
     Restrict to Subdirectory	Indicates that, if links are followed, only links to pages within the same directory as the specified page are copied.
     Max Depth	Indicates the level to which links are copied. For example, if Max Depth = 1, pages that are linked-to from the specified page are copied, but not pages that they link to.

6. In the Insert Content dialog box, complete the fields.

   Some of the fields are described in the following table.

   Field	Description
   Name	A name for the content asset record.
   Title	A descriptive title for the content asset.
   Content (Asset) Type	Leave this field set to Auto-Detect (the default) to have the application determine the asset type, or select a type from the dialog box to set a specific type.
   Lock	Select this to mark the content asset locked by you.

7. In the Insert File or Insert Image dialog box, complete the fields.

   Some of the fields are described in the table in Step 3 in the To create a link from a page to an external page procedure.
