To rename an image resource

1. Open a document and put the document in Edit mode.

2. Choose Create - Image Resource.

3. In the "Insert Image Resource" list, select the image resource that you want to rename.

4. Click Rename.

5. Enter a new image resource name in the Rename dialog box.

Specify an alias if there is a chance that the image resource could be renamed. An alias allows you to change an image resource name without rewriting formulas that reference it. An alias also remains the same if a database is translated or modified. To specify an alias, after the image resource name, type a vertical bar (SHIFT+\) followed by the alias name. For example, ImageName|ImageAlias.

The new name appears in the image resource list.

3. In the "Insert Image Resource" list, select the image resource that you want to delete.

4. Click Delete, and then click Yes to delete the image.
The image resource is deleted from the image resource list and from the database.
