Inserting Images in CKEditor is very simple task. To add picture press the CKEditor image.png button on the toolbar. A popup window called "Image Properties" appears. It includes four bookmarks:

Image Info

The first bookmark refers to the "Image Info"

  • URL: defines the URL address of the image. User may also use the "Browse Sever" in order to browse the files.
  • Alternative Text: gives the description of the image if user prefers it to be different from the image name.
  • Width: specifies image’s width.
  • Height: specifies image’s height.

User may lock the image proportions by pressing CKEditor lock.png or may return to the original image size by pressing CKEditor return.png.

  • Border: specifies the size of the border you want to place around the image.
  • HSpace: defines the size of the  horizontal gap.
  • VSpace: defines the size of the vertical gap.
  • Align: specifies the alignment of the image. User may choose between Left or Right.

In a "Preview" window user may view how the window looks with the added image.

Pressing "OK" inserts the image with the specified properties.
