Adding a Custom Preview Image
In this example we have added a special line item to our worksheet that we would like to add a preview image for. Since the item was a hand-entered special, it does not have a default image from the catalog. We can easily assign our own image to the preview column by following the steps below.
- Right-click anywhere on the line item and choose Properties from the pop-up menu.
- In the Item Properties Dialog, select the Visualization tab.
- Click the Load Image icon (Yellow Folder Icon)
- Select and open your desired image file. The image file you choose must be in either Jpeg .(*.jpg) or Bitmap (*.bmp) format.
- After the image loads in the Item Properties window, click the Use This Image For Item Preview button.
- The image is now assigned to your line item in the Preview column.
