importing raster images cad lt 2008 ??

[STU]

hey there,
i have just started using autocad lite 2008, i can't see how to import photos & 2d graphics.
tried copy & pasting them in but although they show up in model space they will not print (even though they show up in print preview!)
i had been using cad 2004 and it was very easy to import them as raster images, but this does not seem to be an option anymore.
any help would be great,
thanks a mill

As you can see Autocad LT has limitations on managing raster images

This is an add-on which adds a number of useful functions to your AutoCAD LT, and one of them is the insert images function.

thanks for the help,
the xanadu add on looks as though it will hold the key!
