Appendix D: Including Images within the Document Assembly Process  

Steps:

1. Create a word document or if you already have .xml document (Word Document saved as .xml using Microsoft Office Word 2003 or later) then you can use that .xml document.
2. If you have a picture, you must first insert it as a link to the document (using the MS-Word options "Insert-->Picture-->From File-->Link to File").  Do not insert objects directly into your document. 

3. Save this word document as <document_name>.xml or if it already .xml just save it.

4. Upload the .xml file as an attachment to the T&C or Supporting Documents component with an attachment type of Document XML.
5. The picture file (.jpg or .gif file) should be uploaded as a separate attachment with an attachment type of Image.

The image attachment and the .xml file (with the link) should be on the same document component (i.e. T&C or Supporting Docs).
