Copying graphics
In addition to importing native
Illustrator files using the Place com-
mand, you can also drag and drop
or copy and paste Illustrator vector
artwork files into InDesign to work
with them as editable objects. In this

mesh, are not supported in InDesign,
so this technique should be reserved
for relatively simple artwork.

tion previews. To see better qual-
ity versions of your pictures, choose

automatically scales the image to
fill that frame.
■ Click an empty frame to place the
image into it.
Note that if a text insertion point is
blinking when you place a graphic,
the graphic is automatically placed
as an anchored object that flows with
the surrounding text.

Place dialog box—including a mix
of graphics and text files—and then
