Select Attachments
1. The Insert Link screen will appear.
Select an attachment from the list of already attached files or select Choose File to browse for and select a single file to attach to the page
1. The currently selected attachment is highlighted in blue.
Enter the text you would like to appear on the page for that attachment in the Link text field near the bottom of the dialogue.
Select Insert

Drag an Image Directly onto the Page While in Edit Mode

This method works only for image files (jpeg, jpg, png, etc.). While editing the page, drag an image file from your file system (ex: your home directory) directly onto the spot in the page where you would like the image to appear. The file will automatically be attached to the page and display on the page at the point you selected.
