Only two types of image files can be used on webpages--

GIF - Graphical Interface Format (developed by CompuServe) Clipart-type images-- flat pictures in clear colors with crisp lines. A series of GIF images compiled to show movement is an Animated GIF.

JPEG - Joint Photographic Experts Group  Photograph-type pictures with complex gradations of color and shaded lines.  Filesize is usually larger than GIF and loads more slowly.

NOTE: Animated GIFs may not show movement in Composer.

Add Space around image to set it apart from text.

• Images look better with 5 - 10 pixels of blank space around them especially to separate them from surrounding text. 
• Put numbers for Top & Bottom spacing and/or
Left & Right spacing.

• In box next to Border put number 1 - 10 and click OK.
(Color of border is default text color of page.)
• Remove border by entering zero.

Alignment menu positions text relative to image.

• Type text next to your image and experiment with the 3 vertical placement buttons and 2 buttons for left or right wrapping of text. No center wrapping.
• Alignment button on formatting toolbar sets horizontal placement of image if separated from text, but results are odd next to text: will not wrap text around image.

Click Image button for each new image to place on page.

Images are not part of page. They are separate files.
