Adding Picture to Book

Hi

Can anyone help me to insert a picture into a free text box in the book report. I have tried copy and paste, drag and drop but neither work.
Grateful for a pointer in what way to go.
Thanks

Martin

If have moved this to a new topic, because it is not really a Drag & Drop problem.

A clue is in the name Free Text. Only text can be edited into a Free Text box.

Pictures (image files) can be included in Reports or in Diagrams or edited into Blank Pages later.

A Report includes Media attached to the Records include in the Report, and then is added to the Book.

A Diagram can simply hold a Picture &/or Text. Use View > Standard Diagram Types > Blank Diagram and then Diagram > Insert into Diagram > Picture or Text Box and compose a combination of pictures and text. Then Diagram > Save Diagram as a Chart and add to the Book.

A Blank Page is a placeholder in the Book. Use Save Book As > Word-processor Document (RTF) and insert whatever you like via a word-processor such as MS Word before saving as a PDF if preferred.
