Top, Middle, or Bottom.

Embedding vs. linking
Embedding means the image in WebPlus is now distinct from the original file.
Embedding results in a larger WebPlus file, and if you need to alter an
embedded image you'll need to re-import it after editing. Still, it's the best choice
if file size isn't an issue and graphics are final.
Linking inserts a copy of the image file into the WebPlus site, linked to the
actual file so that any changes you later make to it in the native application will
be automatically reflected in WebPlus. Linking is one way of avoiding "bloat"
by limiting the size of the site file. On the other hand, you'll need to manage the
externally linked files carefully, for example making sure to include them all if
you move the WebPlus file to a different drive.
Either option does not affect your published website, only your
WebPlus site.
By default, WebPlus prompts you to embed images that are <256 KB, by pre-
selecting the "Embed Picture" option in the Insert Picture dialog (but you can
always select "Link Picture" instead). If you like, you can change the threshold
file size or even switch off the automatic selection.
You can check resources via Site Manager later on, to change an item's status
from linked to embedded, or vice versa.
