Copy and paste images

You can copy an image from another source, and paste it on your Contribute page.

Note: If your Contribute administrator has restricted the types of images your user role can insert, you might be able to insert images only from shared assets.

You can also add images by using the Insert menu or Image button (see Use the Insert menu or Image button to add images to a page) or by dragging them to the page (see Drag images to a page).

  1. In the application that contains the image you want to copy, select the image.

  2. Select Edit > Copy.

  3. Place the insertion point in your Contribute draft where you want the image to appear.

  4. Select Edit > Paste.

  5. If the Image Description dialog box appears, enter text to describe the image for users with disabilities or for users whose browsers are set to display text only, and then click OK.

    The image appears in your draft. To make the image web-ready, Contribute reduces large images to the size pre-set by the Contribute administrator, if the administrator has enabled image processing for your role.

    Note: If the image you are inserting is from your computer, you can edit the image inline, but you can’t edit the image in an external application until you publish the draft. For more information about editing, see Edit an image in Contribute.
    After you insert the image, double-click the image to change the image properties. For more information, see Change image properties.
