The upload dialog allows you to drag files, images and documents, etc from the local machine directly into the uploaded files area shown above. Zipped files can be stored as zips for redistribution or expanded for immediate use. Otherwise, click Browse, and select the file to upload from your local file system. Images should be already resized to their finished size before uploading.
The file will be uploaded, and shown highlighted in the File Manager- Click OK
The Image dialog will reappear, with the path to the image on the server now filled in. - Adjust any other settings required in this dialog:
Set the 'HSpace' and 'VSpace' to give padding around the image - say 10 (pixels) Set the 'Align' to either Right or Left (of the insertion point or cursor location) Set 'Border' to '0' if the image is also a link to stop the browser placing a blue border around it. - Click OK to return to the Text Editor

will add a drop shadow to an image on the page or surface. |
