Editing Objects - Pictures

Use the [Picture] button to include a picture in your design. As with other tools, click the button and draw a frame for the picture on the Form. A dialogue box then appears. In the Picture Name field, enter the file name of the picture as it is on your hard disk. The picture must be stored in the same directory or folder as the FirstOffice database and application. You can use 'Paste Special' to ensure that the file name is spelt correctly, but this method will bring in the full path name of the picture. It is recommended that you remove the path name to leave the file name only. If you do not remove the path name, it will become incorrect if you move your FirstOffice folder and as a result the picture will no longer be printed.

In the Windows environment, files of BMP format are supported. For Macintosh users, EPS and PICT formats are supported. For Linux users, files of BMP and EPS format are supported. If a picture does not print, opening it in Adobe Photoshop and saving it may correct the problem. The name of the picture file must have an extension, and both the name and extension must be in uppercase characters. The file should be smaller than 200K.
