Insert Content Item Dialog - Image Panel

The Image panel of the Insert Content Item dialog enables you to select one or more image files on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance and insert these images into the current Microsoft Office document. You search for files using the standard search features of the content server (browsing or criteria-based query, if available). For each selected content item, you can choose the file rendition that should be inserted and also provide alternative text (that is, the text that appears when you hover the mouse cursor over the image in a web environment). The images are inserted at the current cursor position in the Microsoft Office document, in line with text.

Please note that the inserted images are not linked to their respective content items on the server. This means that the image in the document is not updated automatically if the source image is updated on the content server, or vice versa.

You can select any file on the content server, but only graphic files can be successfully inserted into the Microsoft Office document. The supported graphics file formats depend on the installed conversion filters for your Microsoft Office applications. If you select a non-graphic file (for example, a Word document), the Microsoft Office application will attempt to convert it to a graphic. If this fails, an error is reported and nothing is inserted.

Note:

You cannot insert content items from Oracle Content Database servers or other WebDAV servers.

Element	Description
Content Item	This field shows the content ID of the selected image file on the content server that will be inserted in the current Microsoft Office document. If you selected multiple files, then you can use the drop-down list to review each selected item.
Browse	Click this button to open the Select Content Dialog - Search Panel, where you can select one or more image files on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance. You search for files using the standard search features on the content server (browsing or criteria-based query, if available).
Alternative Text	This is the alternative text for the selected image, which is the text that appears when you hover the mouse cursor over the image in a web environment (that is, the text for the ALT attribute of the IMG tag).
Insert	This lists all available image file targets that can be inserted in the current Microsoft Office document: Native Rendition: This inserts the contents of the native image file; that is, the original file as created in its associated application. If you select this option, make sure that it is a graphic file (for example, .bmp, .tif, .gif, or .jpg). Web-Viewable Rendition: This inserts the contents of a version of the original image file that can be viewed in a web browser. Contributors may manually specify a file as the web-viewable rendition when checking a content item in to the content server, but web-viewable renditions are often created automatically on the content server and checked in along with the native file (for example, a generated JPG version or reduced thumbnail). Other renditions: The list shows all custom renditions that may also be available on an Oracle WebCenter Content Server instance. The default is the alternate file, but server administrators may configure the content server to include other custom renditions of content items in this list.
Help	Click this button to display context-sensitive help information for this dialog.
OK	Click this button to close the dialog and insert the selected image file into the current Microsoft Office document.
Cancel	Click this button to close the dialog without doing anything.
