Some text formatting features do not apply to inserted pictures.
If you scale the surrounding text, an inserted picture does
not distort or scale with the text.
Spread and Overprint commands do not affect inserted pic-
tures.
Strokes or inks applied to the text dont affect inserted pic-
tures.
Inserted pictures might not be imported from the Clipboard
by other applications.
When the insertion point is in a text object and you choose the Insert
Picture command, Canvas inserts the contents of the Clipboard as a
raster image into the text.
Because Canvas converts the Clipboard contents to a raster image
when you use Insert Picture, you cannot edit objects that have been
inserted into text. For example, if you insert a multigon object into
text, you cant use editing handles to reshape or scale it.
If you insert text characters using the Insert Picture command, the
inserted text characters are not editable.
Inserting a picture into text
The Insert Picture command is available when any object is on the
Clipboard and the insertion point is in a text object.
1
Select the object or objects that you want to insert into text.
2
Choose Edit > Cut or Edit > Copy to place the selection on the
Clipboard. If you selected multiple objects, they become a single
composite graphic when inserted into text.
3
Select the Text tool in the toolbox. Click in the text where you
want to insert the graphic. An insertion point appears where you
click.
4
Choose Text > Insert Picture. The Clipboard contents appear at
the insertion point.
How inserted pictures affect leading
When you use the Insert Picture command, the leading of the para-
graph might change, depending on the Line spacing method:
