Embeding images amongst text

[atrium]

I need to create a help system. I have the topic, keywords and the description.
In the description field I want to be able to insert images to show the true screen image amongst the text
I'm having trouble taking the help notes from word (with all the images in place) and copying that file into the Description field and of cours it drops the images.

Any ideas and solutions would be great please

Hi. Most "help" systems typically use RTF or HTML docs, so it can have both text and images together. A plain text repository won't be able to store images. You might also consider using PDFs.

create a form with image placeholder and text.

I use rich text memo fields for this purpose.
These can include text formatting, images and hyperlinks to external documents.
For example:

Yes I will give the PDF method a go. Thanks heaps
