How do I easily embed a graphic?

[gavm99]

Hi all,

I have a newsletter than I have designed in Frontpage. I want to embed my graphics rather than link to them using a URL. Is there an option in Frontpage to embed the graphic rather than link to it?

Thanks.

Gavin.

What kind of graphics? Is it just lines and shapes or pictures. If it is just lines and shapes, insert autoshape will actually embed it but you need to be frontpage enabled to handle them.

I havent seen any way of embedding pictures but just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it isn't there. Maybe someone else knows about pictures.

Hi:

How are you "linking" to your images? With a hyperlink? You should have a folder in your web entitled "images" and simply use the "Insert" command from the toolbar to "insert picture from file" and select the file you want. This is the only kind of "embedding" that I know of. If you want to modify the image for another page or table, then simply save the modified image under another name. You'll then have two different images in your "images" folder. Or, describe the problem you're having with the "insert" procedure.

HTH,

Hi:

I've been chewing on this. If you put your pictures in the same directory as your .htm pages rather than a sub-directory ("images") I think that will "embed" your pictures.[/tt]

Hi,

Putting the graphics in the same directory would not work for me I want to email a htm page within Outlook as a newsletter.

I overcame it by designing the page in Frontpage and linking the graphics to a full URL which was avaliable as a virtual directory.

Thanks.

Gavin.
