Load Images From Clipboard

Loading an image from the Windows™ clipboard copies an image from the clipboard and links it to the record displayed in the current program window.  The newly copied image is stored in the images folder for the software module.

Tips:

• If you load the same image into different records, each record will have its own copy of the image stored in the images folder.

• To maintain good graphical quality, the original image should be in the JPEG format, although it is not required.  When the program loads the image, it automatically converts the image to the JPEG format with the .jpg file extension.

• For more information about images, see the Images Menu.
