File Object

The File object is used to link or embed any pictures, OLE objects, or files created and maintained by a separate application. It also defines how they are formatted in the printed and on-line documents.

You can define aspects such as size, captions, borders, etc. When published the file is read from disk or from the Author-it Library, inserted and formatted as specified.

Note: You can insert a File object directly into the text of a Topic, or it can be in the contents of a Book. When in the contents of a Book it is included in the Topic immediately preceding the File object in the contents.
