	To add an image from a Picture Library	When the Rich Text Column was set up, the administrator set the default Image URL.

	To upload a local image	Select the Upload Image tab on the top of the Image Manager dialog. Click Browse, and select the image you want to use. Click Upload. Note: The image will be uploaded to the location listed in the Directory field (the associated Picture Library by default), and will be automatically selected on the Image Manager screen. Click Insert to add the picture.
