If you click on it, the picture preview appears. You can assign as many image files as you wish. You still have to specify the position in the text where the picture is to be displayed. To do that, you need a Mambot with the name mosimage with surrounding it. Position the cursor at the position where the picture is to appear. Either type mosimage manually or click the insert images icon under the text window. You have to insert one mosimage command for each picture that you want to insert. The images will be displayed in the order that they are selected.  In addition to the insert image icon you will also see an insert page break icon.
