About working with graphics on a data access page

Inserting graphics from a file

When you insert a graphic from a file you can either insert the graphic by copying and pasting it from another location, or you can insert a link to the graphic at a fixed location, such as another Web server or to a relative file location. Linking a graphic to your data access page reduces the size of the page, makes it easier to update the graphic, and makes it easier to share the graphic between different data access pages. In Microsoft Windows, if you move or copy a data access page to another location, make sure that you also move or copy any supporting files— such as graphics, background textures, and bullets— so that you maintain the graphic links to your page.

Aligning graphics

The Alignment and Sizing toolbar (Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 with Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later) in data access page Design view provides alignment commands that help you arrange your graphics. If you are using Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, use the Align and Size commands on the Format menu.
