SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on inserting images into TeXnicCenter while generating DVI files. Users must ensure they include the necessary packages, specifically \usepackage[dvips,pdftex]{graphicx} and \usepackage{graphics}, to handle graphics correctly. It is established that DVI files do not directly support graphics; instead, users should compile documents using pdfLaTeX for formats like .jpg, .png, and .pdf, or use dvips for .eps files. The correct syntax for including images is demonstrated with the \includegraphics command within a figure environment.
