4. Check Include copy of Image in document to store image data itself in the Nisus Writer Pro
file which is used as a backup.
!
Checking Include copy of image in document creates a larger Nisus Writer Pro file.
!
If you uncheck!Include copy of image in document, the Nisus Writer Pro rtf file stores only
the original image’s file path. That means no image will be displayed if:
• the original image file has been deleted, moved, or otherwise goes missing
• you send the document to another machine where the path is not valid.
5. Click Open.
!
You can link an inserted image to its original file path. These linked images update automatically if
the file changes on disk. Double-clicking a linked image opens the original file in an external
application. See also “Using LinkBack” on page 421 to learn about editing your images in their
original applications.
• LinkBack (normally) embeds information inside an image that lets you edit the original
image. This depends on your having the originating application, not necessarily a file on
disk somewhere.
• On the other hand, Link to File embeds a file path in the inserted image (or just a file path
and no image data). This depends on your keeping the original image on disk.
