Replacing existing pictures

If you started your publication from a template, you're likely to want to replace some of the template's pictures with your own. The Change Picture command lets you insert new pictures in place of existing ones. When you use this command, the new picture will appear in the location of the original one, with the original picture's formatting applied.
