Inserting Graphics

Previous   Contents   Next  

MicroTest Pro will accept graphics that you can copy and paste in a PCX or BMP (Windows) format. Any graphics you wish to insert into MicroTest Pro will need to fit within the page margins defined in the General Layout Options dialog. Mark the Store Graphics in Cross Platform Format box in the General Layout Options dialog ONLY if you are going to use your bank for both a Mac and Windows environment. (For additional information, see Cross Platform Considerations .)

It is important to edit illustrations within a draw or paint program prior to pasting them into your question bank because you cannot edit graphics within MicroTest Pro. After a graphic has been pasted into MicroTest Pro, clicking to the right or left of the picture will create an outline. The outline designates a figure’s border and allows you to locate your cursor.

  1. From within a draw or paint program, select and copy the image you wish to paste into MicroTest Pro.
  2. Open a question bank file in MicroTest Pro.
  3. In the Table of Contents window, click on the chapter that stores the question or figure where you would like to add the graphic.
    a) Click inside the Edit Questions window to make it active or from the Window menu, choose Edit Questions.
    -or-
    b) From the Window menu, choose Display/Edit Figures.
  4. Click on the arrow buttons in the Edit Questions window or the Display/Edit Figures window to locate the desired question or figure.
  5. Using your mouse, click on the line that precedes the area where you would like to insert the graphic.
  6. From the Edit menu, choose Paste.
  7. From the Edit Questions window or the Display/Edit Figures window, click the Save button.
