Editing images

Once you have inserted images in your Corel Office for Java documents, you can use the View Options command in the Corel Office for Java Image menu to edit the appearance of the graphics files. The View Options dialog box allows you to adjust the width and height, vertical and horizontal offset, vertical and horizontal margins, background color, and aspect ratio for a selected image.

When you open the View Options dialog box, the original size, path, width, and height of the selected image are displayed. You can adjust these settings by typing new values in the width and height boxes in the View Size section of the Format Image dialog box. After you have applied the new values to the selected image and saved your changes, you can reapply the image's original width and height values by clicking the Original Size button in the View Options dialog box.

You can also use the View Options dialog box to adjust the position that the image occupies in your document. Vertical and horizontal offset effects allow you to shift the graphic left, right, up, or down. Vertical and horizontal margin options allow you to adjust the margins within the image component. Background color and transparency options allow you to customize the image's background to suit your document. Stretch to fit and tiling options allow you to modify the image's appearance within the space that it occupies in your document. And, if you want to make adjustments to the appearance of your document without affecting the dimensions of the image, the Maintain Aspect Ratio option allows you to retain proportionate dimensions while modifying image attributes.
