With an external image, you can check the option Save with template. If this option is
checked, the file will be inserted in the Images folder on the Resources pane.
If not saved with the template, the image will remain external. Note that external images
need to be available when the template is merged with a record set to generate output,
and that their location should be accessible from the machine on which the template's
output is produced. External images are updated (retrieved) at the time the output is
generated.

Note
It is also possible to set an element's background in a style sheet; see "Styling templates
with CSS files" on page646. When referring to images or fonts from a CSS file, refer to a
path that is relative to the current path, which is css/. For example: #header {
background-image: url('../images/image.jpg'); }.
Border
In any type of template, boxes, tables and table cells, paragraphs, images and other elements
can have a border.
Elements have a rectangular shape, so their border has four sides. Each side of the border can
have a different layout.
