For your convenience, the Transmittal Letter Editor allows you to insert bitmap images (for example, Company logos) as well as other objects into your transmittal letter. Some of the other object types include:

For a complete list of object types, choose Insert > Object to open the Insert Object dialog, and scroll down the list of object types.

Create New

To open the application associated with the new object type, mark the Create New checkbox.

Example: When the Create New checkbox is marked, clicking Bitmap Image opens a version of Microsoft Paint (if the application is installed on your PC) within the Transmittal Letter Editor window. Note, however, that new objects can only be created if you have that particular application installed on your PC.

Create from File

  • To insert an existing object into your document, mark the Create from File checkbox.
  • To insert a picture of the file contents into your document, mark the Link checkbox. The picture will be linked to the file so that changes to the file will be reflected in your document.
  • To insert the contents of the file as an object so that you may activate it using the program that created it, mark the Display As Icon checkbox. The object will then be displayed as an icon within the transmittal letter.
  • To insert a shortcut that represents the file, mark both the Link checkbox and the Display As Icon checkbox. The shortcut will be linked to the file so that any changes to the file will automatically be reflected in your document.
