Inserting inline graphics

[Alastair Dent]

Thanks for your reply, Matt.

When I do the initial paste, FM defaults to placing the button icon below the insertion point line. Can I configure it to paste inline?


Thank other people for their responses. Setting up a document and pre-configuring the graphics in there is simply not practical. There are hundreds of icons in this product and I will only know which ones I need to use as I'm writing.

I had to do that approximately eleventh-six hundred times in writing the Fm11 book!

I set my cursor in the text, between ()'s, and hit paste. Then I used Alt+(down arrow) to wrangle it into position. I don't know that you'll find a faster solution than that...

I need to be able to quickly insert graphics (button icons) into instructions.

I've had a brief go at this and it seems needlessly complex
Paste graphic
Select frame, chance to 'anchor at insertion point'.

I still end up with a button icon floating too high.

What am I missing?
