To insert and position a background image in your Help contents pane:

1.   Select the Projects icon.

2.   Select Help Targets from the left pane.

3.   Select the Help target you wish to modify from the right pane (not available in Manual or WinHelp targets).

4.   From the property pane, select the BackgroundImage property and click the button in the box to the right of the property name.

The Select Image File dialog opens.

Note, that the Select Image File dialog opens by default to C:\Program Files\ComponentOne\DocToHelp\Themes\Images\Backgrounds.

This directory contains the default background images included with Doc-To-Help. Any customized background images you plan to use should also be placed in this directory prior to inserting them into your Help project. Doc-To-Help retrieves background images from this directory, images contained in alternate directories will not be used by Doc-To-Help during the build process.

5.   Select a background image from the dialog and click OK.

By default, the image will be placed in the upper left corner of the Help contents pane. Your options for image positioning are:

None	The background image is placed in the upper left corner of the Help contents pane.
Tiled	The background image is tiled, covering the entire area of the Help contents pane.
Horizontal	The background image is repeated horizontally along the top edge of the Help contents pane.
Vertical	The background image is repeated vertically along the left edge of the Help contents pane.

6.   Select your background image preference from the drop-down to the right of the BackgroundRepeat property in the Help target property pane.

7.   Build the Help target to reformat your Help contents pane with the new background image.
