Viewing figures and graphics

Double-click the thumbnail to launch the associated application and open the graphic file.

Note:
If you create an image in a drawing program and save it as a graphic file, the native program will not open when you double click on the graphic thumbnail. Windows will look for a viewer application like Paint or PhotoViewer to preview the image.

Each EndNote reference can contain up to 45 file attachments but only one figure in the Figure field. If you insert a second image or picture, it will replace the first one.
