Inserting Images

Images should be edited in such as way as to minimize the file size needed for the appropriate quality. The actual dimensions of the image may also have to be set properly. IRT Web & Media Services can help with your image processing questions.

To insert an image onto your page, the image needs to exist in the appropriate images folder for your site. (See our helpsheet on Uploading Images).

Inserting an image onto your page 

  1. Position the cursor on the page at the location where you want the image to appear. 
  2. From the Collage toolbar, click the Image button. 
  3. Use the Folder List to navigate to the folder containing the images.
  4. You can use the Change to Icon View button to see the actual images. 
  5. From the list, click a checkmark for the image you want to insert. 
  6. Fill in the ALT box with a short description of what the image represents.
    This text will “pop up” when a viewer points at the image on the page. 
  7. Click the OK button. The image will be placed on the page.
