page

images should appear on an InDesign CS3 page.

Requirements:

Darwin Pilot must be running.

InDesign CS3 must be running.

2. Select the applicable image placeholder.
3. In Darwin CoPilot, on the Variable Elements panel, double-click the

image rule or chart that you want to put in the image box.

Note: You can use the AutoFit panel to have the Darwin software
automatically resize the image or chart so that it will be proportional
to the image box.

An icon of an image or a chart appears in the image box to represent
the assigned image rule or chart.
