MicroStrategy ONE
Formatting images in documents
When you insert an image into a document, its formatting is determined by the control defaults. However, you can change the formatting and appearance as described below:
-
For all formatting options and properties, format images using the Property List. Formatting options include borders (including 3D borders and drop shadows) and tooltips. The layout properties include the properties that define the image, such as name, image source, position, size, and hyperlink information.
-
For easy access to basic border options, use the Formatting toolbar or right-click options. See Formatting images using the Formatting toolbar and Formatting images using right-click options.
-
For border options, including 3D borders and drop shadows, use the Format Objects dialog box.
-
For general and layout properties that define the image, specify the image properties. These properties include name, position, size, and image source.
The Property List is the easiest to use, as it contains all the options of the other interfaces on the same screen as the Layout area.
For more information on some of the formatting options, see the following topics:
-
Make the image appear three-dimensional, like a button, with the 3D effect. For detailed instructions, see Applying 3D effects.
-
Display pop-up text when a user positions the cursor over the image in MicroStrategy Web with a tooltip. The tooltip can provide extra information, such as an expanded description of the image. For detailed instructions, see Creating pop-up tooltips.
-
Display an image to other document designers in Design View (MicroStrategy Developer) and Design Mode (MicroStrategy Web) while hiding it from users viewing the document in other MicroStrategy Developer views and MicroStrategy Web modes. For detailed instructions, see Hiding controls.
