How do I add pictures to my site?

Working with Pictures and/or Clip Art

It is important to understand how pictures work in FrontPage.  While they can come from multiple sources, once they have been imported, they are added somewhere in the website and linked to the pages in which they've been included.  This means that they are linked and not embedded.  If the picture file is accidentally deleted, then it will no longer appear in the page in which it was inserted. 

The other difference inherent in adding pictures to Web sites as opposed to word is that they are always relative to the text.  His helpful to think of them as one letter within a sentence.  The user can either left justify, center or right-justify pictures. Pictures can also be organized within tables but this is a relatively complex process and is better left for more advanced users.

To insert a picture:

  1. Place cursor in a position relative to text.
    • Note: Images cannot be place anywhere on web pages unless you are using advanced layout tools. They must be placed in relationship to text.
  2. Click the Picture Icon
  3. Follow the menu instructions to insert a picture
  4. Resize picture (reduce only*):
    1. Double-click on the picture
    2. Change the width and height variables and click Ok
    3. A small icon will appear a the bottom right of the image if you resize it.
    4. Click the small icon on the bottom-right of the picture and select Resample Picture to match size size
    5. Right, Center or left justify the picture.

*Note: It is not a good idea to increase picture size once the picture has been resampled or imported from another source. The result will be that the picture lacks clarity and/or is highly pixilated.
