How to change the picture on the front page

If you want to add your own picture on the front page, you can replace the image under the wedge. Use a picture in landscape format to get the best layout, or else your picture can be distorted. You find instructions for this below.

Inserting a new picture

Right-click on the picture and choose Format Picture
Click on Fill & Line, on the symbol that looks like a paint bucket
Click on the tab Fill, choose Picture or texture fill.
Click on the File-button and locate the picture you want from the file manager.
If your picture is distorted, for example if it looks stretched, you need to manually adjust the height of your image. Go to Format Picture, click on Picture and then Crop. In Picture position you change height to 14,02 cm.

How to handle the front and title pages

The layout on the front and title pages is movable, so if you happen to move any of the objects use the Undo button to reset it to the original layout. To double-check that the layout in your document complies with the template's suggestions, we, therefore, recommend that you open a new template and compare it with your template document. Does it look correct or does something need to be corrected?
