Doing so will allow you to review the contents of the source quickly when necessary, and (if you wish) to include the source image in reports\/websites.<\/p>\n

Before you start adding Media to Sources and Citations, you should review the article on Multimedia File Formats<\/a> to understand what file formats \u0192h<\/span><\/span> will handle internally; and note that only Image files are displayed in Diagrams and Reports.<\/p>\n

If your Source document is a PDF, you are advised to convert it to one or more image files using a Graphics Package<\/a> such as PDF to Image File Converter<\/a>. If your Source document is a Text or Word Processing document, you might prefer to cut and paste the content into\u00a0Text From Source.<\/em><\/p>\n
