This is a very quick step-by-step guide. You can refer to this guide whenever you need to send images in a NewsMerge issue.

In the very first step, open the NewsMerge, click on issues tab in the toolbar at the top. You should see the screen similar to this:

Editing an Issue is completely different to NewsMerge 1.x. NewsMerge 2.x has its own html / text editor included, which is displayed if you click the "Edit Issue Content" button on the right hand side in the above screen.

There are three different views, the design view, the HTML Source View and the Plain text view. Click on "Design View" tab to switch to the design view mode. Click on Insert Menu->Picture->browse. Select the image file to be inserted in a the issue.

Switch back to "HTML Source" view mode. Locate the <img src ...> tag entry for the newly inserted image. Change the local path of the image file into the remote server path where you are going to upload the image file.

Note: You will have to upload the image to a web server and put that path here.

A typical webserver path would be http://www.adiscon.com/someImageSubDirectory/NewsMerge-image1.jpg

You have successfully completed the process of inserting an image in the current issue.

You can now "Save and Close" the issue content from the File menu. Click on Publish Now button to publish the issue.
