plACe imAges into existing frAmes
In many cases, you will need to place an image or graphic into an existing frame and
then manipulate the placed file to suit the available space. In the previous stage of this
project, you created five empty graphics frames at the bottom of the layout; in this
exercise, you will place the client’s photos into those frames.

1. With gcm-letterhead.indd open, make the bottom of the page visible in
