Pasting Images From Other Programs

You can copy and paste an image from another program, such as Microsoft Word, into a content file (e.g., topic, snippet). When you do this, a copy of the image file is added in PNG format to your project with a name that you provide.

Tip Before copying an image from another application, you should set its size to 100%. This enables you to resize the image later within Flare without loss of quality. On the other hand, let's say you resized the image to 50% in Microsoft Word and then pasted the image into Flare. Later, you decide to enlarge the image in Flare. But in the output the quality does not look very good because it was necessary to add pixels.

How to Paste Images From Other Programs

  1. After copying the image in the other program, open a content file (e.g., topic, snippet) in Flare.
  2. Place your cursor where you want to paste the image.
  3. Press CTRL+V on your keyboard.
