Determines whether the image is stored through its data or through its file reference. By default an image is stored through a file reference if a file reference exist. Otherwise, if the image has been pasted from the clipboard, it is stored with its complete binary data. The [ObjectCurrent](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-activex/reference/txtextcontrol/objectcurrent-property/llms-full.txt) property determines the image or signature field.
