Insert an image placeholder
An image placeholder is a graphic you use until final artwork is ready to be added to a web page. You can set the placeholder’s size and color, as
well as provide it with a text label.
1. In the Document window, place the insertion point where you want to insert a placeholder graphic.
2. Select Insert > Image Objects > Image Placeholder.
3. For Name (Optional), enter text you want to appear as a label for the image placeholder. Leave the text box blank if you do not want a label
to appear. The name must begin with a letter and can contain only letters and numbers; spaces and high ASCII characters are not allowed.
4. For Width and Height (Required), type a number to set the image size in pixels.
5. For Color (Optional), do one of the following to apply a color:
Use the color picker to select a color.
Enter the color’s hexadecimal value (for example, #FF0000).
Enter a web-safe color name (for example, red).
