Pictures and/or clip art can be added to the timeline anywhere you want, including fact and text boxes. You must be in Timeline View to add a picture or image to the timeline. The supported image file types include: .jpg, .gif, .bmp., .emf (enhanced metafile), and .wmf (Windows metafile). You can edit picture display and layout properties, and attach linked files to them too.
Pictures added to the timeline outside of a fact or text box, do not contain dates, do not connect to the time scale, and do not move when the time scale repositions itself.

| • | Gallery includes a variety of images from TimeMap's program files. |
| • | Icon includes a selection of font-based icons. |
| • | In Use displays images already used in this timeline. |
