How to embed area selection image rather than page or entire document?

I thought I've done it before but my 15 tries just resulted in the entire doc getting published (all pages). I can't find a help topic either.

Is it possible to publish and embed an area selection to a web page?

I figured out I can use <img src="path to img"/> to do it.

Thought there was another way but perhaps I'm mistaken.

@jessica d Thanks for continuing this thread! First you will publish the piece of your document that you would like to embed by using our Area Selection Publishing Tool. To do this select File > Publish > Area Selection (Image). You can then choose the file type and quality of the image you are publishing. Select Publish Selection > Done and then drag your cursor over the area you would like to publish.

Next head back to the Publisher to pick up the URL to your published image. To do this select File > Publish and select the image to copy your URL.

You will then be able to enter your site and embed using <img src= "published link URL"/> as your embed code.

Hope this helps!
