Using the Insert File and the Insert Image Tools

Using these tools, you can insert files (such as HTML files, MS Word files, and Adobe Acrobat files) and graphics files from your local file system, from shared networks and from the Web.

The difference between using the Insert File tool and the Insert Image tool is that the HTML display for the Insert Image tool is always set to In-Line.

When these files are added to your page, they are also stored as content assets in the content asset repository. For more information about the content assets, see Content Asset Management.
