Adding an InlineGraphic

This procedure explains how to add an image into a document using the InlineGraphic, which embeds the image file into the REQ file.
  1. In the Requirements Editor tool, open the REQ file and navigate to the desired position in the document.
    The graphic file needs to be on a drive available to the author.
  2. Select the element and right click to select Insert Element Before or After; select InlineGraphic.

  3. Select the InlineGraphic element and right click to select Choose Picture.
  4. Navigate to the location of the image file to be inserted into the document and click Open. The image will appear in the REQ Outline Editor tab.
  5. Select the InlineGraphic element and right click to select Add Attribute; select AlternateText. This is a best practice for ADA Compliance.

  6. Key in a description of the graphic image that would describe the image to someone listening to the document being read to them.
  7. There are two additional attributes available for InlineGraphics; Height and Width. Both are optional. We recommend that authors only use the Height. The value for these attributes is a numeric value followed by a unit of measure ex: .5in would reduce the image to only consume space of one‐half inch high.
    The image appears in the Outline Editor tab and appears in the document when assembled.
