How to add a screen shot (cropped image) box to a document

I have a document that once complete will have a "box" that the user will put a small section of a screen shot in. The image changes per user so the box needs to be able to accept images. I tried it with an oversize blank text box but it wouldn't let me paste an image into it, and I didn't see in the properties how I can adjust it to accept an image. Any suggestions?

The user can "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp tool", using the Stamp tool menu.

But it will not be constrain in a box.

You can use an "image" field, which is actually a button with the icon option selected as its layout.

If you have an older version of Reader you will need to apply the Mouse Up script to it yourself that will allow the user to import an image into it. That script is:

event.target.buttonImportIcon();

However, the user will not be able to select which part of the image to display. That will be determined by the button's options you will need to select in advance.
