Inserting Other Content into a Letter

For Images: Insert > Image (via Letter Writer)

For Other Content: Insert > Object (via Letter Writer)

It is possible to insert content other than text, tables and fields into a letter, including images, charts, sounds and other content; theoretically any file recognised by Windows Operating System. In the scope of Letter Writer, these other files are referred to as 'objects'.

It is important to note however, that whilst it may be possible to import any file type (that Windows recognises), Letter Writer may not be able to interpret the file correctly, and subsequently the file may not behave as expected. For example, ClipArt functions correctly but WordArt does not.

Note also that whilst an image is also a type of object (by definition), because these are the most common type of object inserted into letters, provision has been made for importing these by a more convenient method, as explained below.

Once inserted, an object can be manipulated as follows:

• Selecting - Click anywhere on the object.
• Editing - Double-click to edit. Click the page anywhere outside the object to close.
• Moving - Drag the object. The object can be positioned anywhere on the page. To move an object that has been inserted as a character use normal text editing techniques such as Tabs or Indents.
• Resizing - Click anywhere on the object. A border and eight sizing handles appears around the object (not applicable to images). To resize a selected object, drag the borders. Dragging a corner adjusts both adjacent sides.
• Copying - A selected object can be copied using the same techniques as copying text.
• Deleting - A selected object can be deleted using the same techniques as deleting text.
