Adding objects to the Gallery

You may wish to add to the Gallery any images that you use frequently,

for example, a company logo. You can then very easily insert these

graphics into a document later. You can add images only to “My

Theme” or to any other theme that you have created; these are

indicated by a green icon in the list of themes. You cannot add images

to the built-in themes, indicated by an icon of another color.

Method 1 (selecting a file):

1) In the theme’s Properties, on the

Files

page, click the Find Files

button. The Select path dialog opens.

2) You can enter the path for the file’s directory in the

Path

text box,

or you can navigate to locate the file’s directory. Use the

File type

drop-down list to help limit the search.

3) Click the Select button to start the search.

4) A list of graphic files is then displayed in the window. You can use

the

File type

filter again to further limit the search.

5) Select the files to add. To select more than one file, hold the

Control

key down while you click on each file.

6) Finally, click Add.

Method 2 (drag and drop):

1) Open the document containing an image you want to add to the

Gallery, and display the Gallery theme to which you want to add

it.

2) Position the mouse pointer above the image, without clicking.

3) If the mouse pointer changes to a hand symbol, the image refers

to a hyperlink. In this case, press the

Alt

key while you click the

image, to select it without activating the link. If the mouse pointer

does not change to a hand symbol, you can simply click the image

to select it.

4) Once the image is selected, evident from the green selection

handles around it, release the mouse button. Click again on the

image, keeping the mouse button pressed for more than two

seconds. Without releasing the mouse button, drag the image into

the document.

5) Release the mouse button.
