The Media Gallery displays the contents of the currently selected folder or disk as thumbnails, and, by default it appears as a pane at the bottom of the workspace. You can drag it to the left or right side of the workspace. You can show or hide the Media Gallery in the Options dialog box or by clicking the Media Gallery button on the Insert and Modify tab.
The Media Gallery supports more than 150 file formats for accessing images, animations, audio files, video clips, documents, and web objects (special scripts).
■ Use the buttons on the left side of the toolbar to navigate through folders. When you open a folder, its path shows in the Address box.
■ Use icons on the right side of the toolbar to access shortcuts to commonly used media folders (such as Clipart or Audio).
■ By default, the Tree pane is hidden. To show it, drag the divider at the left side of the Media Gallery. Use the Tree pane to browse to and open a folder with media files in a tree hierarchy.
When you open a folder with media files, thumbnails of (or details about) the files appear in the Display pane. You can then drag items to add them to documents.
The Media Gallery has its own Options dialog box and help system. To set Media Gallery options, click the Options button on its toolbar. For details, see Media Gallery Help. To view Media Gallery Help, click the Gallery button on the Help tab.
