Inserting objects into a document

You can copy or link an object from the Gallery into a document. The difference is that a linked object can be updated in your document if the object is changed in the Gallery, simply by updating the link.

To insert an object:

  1. Choose Tools > Gallery and select a theme.
  2. Select an object with a single click, then drag and drop the object into the document. (See Figure 3.)

You also can right-click on the object to open the context menu and select Insert > Copy.
