•  Note that while you dragging a node, the image will become a 

grayscale. 

•  After you crop a graphic, you can control which portions of it appear in 

your publication by moving the graphic within the visible area.  Just 
click on the picture and drag it inside the cropped area: 

 

•  You cannot crop to resize the visible area of locked objects, but you 

can change what portion of the image shows within the cropped area. 
 
Note: If you crop an inline graphic with the Control palette, you can 
only crop from the center.  To crop from any other point, use the 
cropping tool in the toolbox. 

 
Positioning 
pictures in 
Frame 

•  For Positioning in Frame graphics larger or smaller than the frames 

that contain them, you can specify that graphics be clipped to fit within 
the existing frame borders (applies only to graphics larger than the 
frame), or scaled to fit the existing frame borders.  

•  Alternatively, you can specify that the frame size to fit the size of the 

graphic. 

•  You can specify an inset value between text and the frame border.  

You can set a separate inset value for each side of a rectangular text 
frame, or set a single inset value for oval or polygonal text frames.    

•  You can change how the content aligns vertically and horizontally 

within the frame.  For example, you might want some graphics to be 
positioned in the center of a frame; in other frames you might want the 
graphics to align along the top and left borders of the available space.
