How-to Guide
1. Insert a Floating Picture
Entry path: Insert > Picture > Floating Picture
- Select a cell near the target position in the collaborative spreadsheet.
- Click the Insert tab and select Picture.
- Choose Floating Picture.
- Select a local image file in the file picker and insert it.
- Drag the image to the right position and resize it as needed.
Success Criteria
- Visual result: The image appears above the spreadsheet instead of inside a cell.
- Next action available: You can continue moving or resizing the image.
Tips While Using
- A floating picture does not take over the cell content area, but it may cover important data if placed carelessly.
- If you use multiple floating pictures, place them by section to keep the sheet easier to review.
2. Insert a Cell Picture
Entry path: Insert > Picture > Cell Picture
- Select the target cell in the collaborative spreadsheet.
- Click the Insert tab and select Picture.
- Choose Cell Picture.
- Select an image from local storage or cloud space.
- Confirm that the image is inserted into the current cell.
Success Criteria
- Visual result: The image appears inside the cell and follows the cell size.
- Next action available: You can continue adjusting row height or column width to change the display effect.
Tips While Using
- After a cell picture is inserted, that cell cannot be used for text input.
- For a more consistent layout, adjust row height and column width before inserting many images.
3. Change Paste Picture Settings
Entry path: Insert > Picture > When Pasting Pictures from External Sources
- Click the Insert tab and select Picture.
- Find the setting for pasting pictures from external sources.
- Choose Default to Floating Picture or Default to Cell Picture.
- Copy an external image and paste it into the spreadsheet to check the default result.
Success Criteria
- Visual result: Later pasted images follow the selected default behavior.
- Next action available: You do not need to switch image type manually after every paste.
Tips While Using
- If you often work with product images or screenshots, setting the default behavior in advance can save time.
- If you want a more structured spreadsheet layout, defaulting to cell pictures is usually easier to manage.
