The Communications Professional Image/Logo Properties editor lets you manage your images and logos in your mailings and templates.

There is no functional difference between images and logos. Communications Professional makes this distinction only to help you understand the purpose of each in your mailings and templates.

• Your logo could be in your template header so that it is present in all of your mailings; it is "static."
• Images tend to be more "dynamic." An image that is suitable for one message (as part of the message body) might not be suitable for or applicable to a different message, so it would have to be removed (or replaced with a more appropriate image).

NOTE: These are usage examples. There are no fixed rules for how logos and images are used or where they are placed in mailings.

The image/logo properties editor contains two tabs: Content and Style.

Content Tab

The Content tab contains an image upload tool.

1. Click Choose Another Image to access the image gallery.

2. You can upload an image, link to an external image, or choose one from the gallery. Click the dropdown and select Common Images to use a pre-loaded image.

3. To upload an image, drag and drop an image from your computer into the editor or click to select an image to upload. When you click in the box, Communications Professional automatically opens an explorer window so you can navigate to and select an image.
4. Double-click the image you wish to add. The image now appears in the gallery.

5. Click the image to add it to your message or template.

After the image has been added to your message or template, use the Image Editor to customize it.

Hyperlinks

First, you can set an image as a hyperlink. Click edit hyperlink to open the Hyperlink window. Then, click the URL dropdown list to select the hyperlink type you would like to add.

• Web Page
• Web Version of this Mailing
• Form Landing Page
• Content-Only Landing Page
• Unsubscribe Landing Page
• Email Address
• Document

Alt Text

The Alt Text field allows you to enter any alternative text for your images. This text displays to recipients if the image fails to load.

Captions

All MD2 images can include Captions. To add a caption, simply click the desired image and scroll to the bottom of the Content tab.

Check the Add Image Caption box. The page expands and reveals two new fields:

• Caption Text - Enter the image caption text.
• Text Style - Choose the text style for your caption. You can choose:
• Standard Text 1
• Standard Text 2
• Standard Text 3

Keep in mind that captions are always centered and hyphenated (if they are too long to fit within the layout). If you use an alternate mobile image, the caption does not change.

Style Tab

The Style tab contains one control that lets you modify the image alignment. Click the Alignment dropdown list to select one of the following options:

• Left
• Right
• Center

The Image/Logo Properties editor only lets you control the horizontal alignment. If you wish to modify the vertical alignment, you can do so by placing any corresponding image layout within a section.
