The table is in a browser frame in the Layout Designer window.
Closing the open Browser window does not affect your layout. However, closing a table (on the
File menu pointing to Close Table) closes it in all windows including the Layout Designer
window. Note:
Editing the Contents of a Browser Frame
Activating a browser frame in your layout gives you access the Browser context (right-click) menu. The
data is read-only, but you can sort and filter the contents, resize and reorder columns, pick fields, change
the font display, and toggle the display of the grid lines. You cannot edit the data in a browser frame;
you can only make cosmetic changes.
You cannot select rows in a browser frame in the Layout Designer window, and selections to the same
base table made in other windows does not affect the browser frame.
To edit the display of a browser frame:
1. Right-click on the browser frame and from the pop-up menu, select Activate. This highlights the
border of the active frame.
2. Right-click on a column in the browser frame and from the pop-up menu, select to sort the column
or apply a filter to it.
For a description of the Browser context menu, see About Browser Window Tools and Menus . Look
at the descriptions under Right-Click Context Menu Options.
Clicking away from the active frame deactivates it.
Adding an Image to the Layout Designer Window
You can add an image to your layout, such as a corporate logo, on-location photo, or backdrop for your
map. The following are supported image formats that you can work with:
• JPEG Interchange Format (*.jpeg, *.jpg)
• Portable Network Graphics (*.png)
• Windows Bitmap (*.bmp)
• Graphics Interchange Format (*.gif)
• Tag Image File Format (*.tif, *.tiff)
• Icon Format (*.ico)
The image frame maintains a reference to the image file, so the original image file must remain in the
same location for it to display. The reference to the image file is also maintained in a workspace.
To add an image to your layout:
1. On the Layout Designer window, click Insert Image to open the Insert Image dialog box.
2. Locate the image file that you want to insert, select it, and then click Open. The image displays in
your layout.
You can resize an image by selecting it and then dragging a corner to a new size. The image scales to
fit within the image frame.
