Insert a Picture

Inserting pictures adds a great deal of visual appeal to any document. AbiWord allows you to insert pictures in the form of graphs, photos, and letterhead.

You can open any .png or .bmp files you have from AbiWord, and insert them in your document at the insertion point. You may be able to open other image formats, depending on your operating system and the plug-ins installed.

If you'd like to insert a picture, follow these five easy steps:

• Place cursor where you would like the picture to appear
• Select Insert from the Menu bar
• Select Picture from the drop-down menu

  The Insert Picture dialog box appears.

• Select the picture you would like inserted from its location on your computer
• Select Save
