You can add images to your web page from files stored in packages in the Library, saved on your computer or a local intranet, or available on the Internet. The Web Page Editor supports png, jpg/jpeg, and gif image file formats. 

When inserting an image, you can choose from three types of sources as follows: 

•  Image in Library: Inserts an image saved in a package in the Library. 
   
  The image displayed on the web page is linked to the package graphic file. Therefore, if you update the package file, the image displayed on the web page is automatically updated as well. However, if you move, delete, or rename the package file, you create a broken link, and a "file not available" indicator replaces the image on the web page.
   
  Because this option allows for easy image reuse and maintenance, it is preferable for images used many times throughout your content.
  
•  Image on My Computer: Inserts an image saved on your computer or a network. 
   
  The image is embedded in the web page; that is, it becomes part of the web page document and is not available in the Library as a separate file. 
   
  This option is preferable for images used only once or a few times.
  
•  URL: Inserts an image located on an Internet or intranet site. 
   
  For images obtained from Internet or intranet sites, you must enter (type or copy/paste) the complete URL of the image file itself. The complete URL includes the URL of the site on which it is located, plus the path to the image file within the site structure. When you insert a URL image in a web page, the image is linked to its source and is updated whenever the source file changes. However, if the source file is moved, deleted, or renamed, the link is broken, and a "file not available" indicator replaces the image on the web page. Therefore, you must be sure to use exactly the same file name and path within the site structure each time you change the source image for the link to be maintained.

Note: See Edit Image Properties in the Enhance Content with Web Pages chapter of the Content Development guide for information on setting image properties.

To insert an image:

1. Position the cursor at the location on the web page where you want to insert the image.
    
2. On the Web Page Editor - Insert toolbar, click  Image. 
      
3. On the Image Info tab of the Image Properties dialog box, click Browse. 
4. Select the type of image source ( Image in Library,  Image on My Computer, or  URL), navigate to the desired image, and click OK.
      
5. Click OK.
    
   Note: If you later decide that the image is not needed on the web page, you can delete it by simply selecting it and pressing DELETE.
