Insert pictures

When you tab to or hover your mouse over a picture field, the Click to Insert link appears in the cell. Once you click the Click to Insert link or click anywhere in the picture cell, the Insert Picture dialog box displays. Once an image is inserted, and you hover your mouse over the field, the Delete and Save buttons appear to the right of the image.

Depending on your browser, if you click picture cell buttons while a lookup or calculation is taking place, one or more of your button actions may be ignored. For example, if you're doing a lookup and you click Click to Insert and then Remove to remove a picture, only the remove action takes place.

However, all the image file formats display and print correctly in a PDF version of the form.
