How can I put an image in a template?

[RSZ-EC]

Hi!

I have a File field with a .JPG image in it and I need put that image in a Word template. I tried with the name of the field, but only writes the name of the file, not the image itself.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

To insert file contents (image, text), you can use File() function: [File(Field)]

In MS Word, you can set the image size using the table - the image is placed in the table, and the cell is set to a fixed width and height.

Nevermind!

I search in the russian forum (using Google translator of course) and found it! It's in http://runabase.ru/forum/threads/dobavlenie-nuzhnogo-izobrazhenija-v-dogovor.125 fully explained.

Thanks anyway!

You do not need to search for answers to your questions yourself. We are always happy to help in any questions on the program.

By the way, how can I adjust the size of an image that it's too small for the cell instead of too big? I want it to fit the size of the cell.

As far as I know, in MS Word you can either insert the image as it is so that the cell stretches (Table properties - Options - check "Automatically resize to fit contents"), or set the row to fixed height so that the image fits it (Table properties - tab "Row" - specify height, set "Row height is" to "Exactly").

I did all that already, but figured out what was my problem. I was putting the image in a combined cell (of several rows) and File function reduces it to the height of the first row. When I use a cell of a single row with a defined width and height, the image fits well.

One question/suggestion: Would it be possible to add an optional parameter to File function for get a specific size of images (zoom percentage could be an option)?
[File(Image), 20), for example, could insert the image at 20% of its size.

BTW, is there a way to show an image defined in a [File] field from an object in the view window of other object?

This is an interesting idea, thanks! We write down plans for new features. This will be a separate Image function with parameters, as File also serves to insert text documents.

There is no way to show image from other object, but there is a way to place it in the document. Just write full name of other object field as File() function argument. See OtherObj object in attached example.

There is no way to show image from other object.

I thought so, when I noticed that File field does't have a "Copy from" option such as other fields.

Thanks anyway as always!
