# Placing Images in Other Documents

Drag and Drop Images | Copy a Portion of an Image

The Gobe Productive suite is a graphics-based application. Thus, placing images in other documents such as word processing documents or spreadsheets is simple. Ideally, image processing documents are best used as a place to edit and retouch an image. Integrating an image with a spreadsheet, text, presentation, or graphics, is best handled in the respective documents for those types. For example, if you want to place an image in a presentation, you need to create a presentation document first. Likewise, if you want to integrate an image with a text document, open a word processing document first.

## Drag and Drop Images

Perhaps the simplest way to integrate an image with other document types is to drag and drop the image file into your document.

1. While working in a document (a word processing document for example), relocate the main Gobe Productive window so you can access the Disks icon on the desktop.
2. Double-click the Disks icon. A standard BeOS folders list is displayed.
3. Use the folder lists to locate the image file you wish to place in the word processing document.
4. Once you have located the image file, select it, drag it, and drop it into the workspace of the word processing document. The application will automatically create an image processing frame for the image file. You can activate the frame and use any of the image processing tools or plug-ins.

## To Copy a Portion of an Image

You can also create an image processing document, sheet, or frame, and then copy and paste an image into another document. This can be useful if you wish to copy only a portion of an image from an image file to another Gobe Productive document.

1. Open an image processing document or sheet.
2. Open the image file you wish to copy.
3. Select the portion of the image you wish to copy.
4. Select Copy from the Edit menu.
5. Open the document or sheet where you wish to place the image.
6. Select Paste from the Edit menu.

| NOTE: For word processing documents, there are two ways to place images into a text file. See the topic Placing Images & Graphics into a Word Processing document for more information about how to paste images into this type of document.
