**Inserting a picture**
 * You will have to save the item to the computer or drive first.
 * Copy/paste does not work – only “uploading” a file.
 * When you find a picture, right-click (control-click on Mac), choose "Save Image As", Save to appropriate place]
 * Click on the little __landscape icon__ in the editor that says "File".
 * On the Images & File pop-up: Click "Upload Files", which will bring you to your files on the computer.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Choose (double click) your picture that you just saved.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Double click the image you just uploaded.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> When it inserts, a little “image properties” box will pop up.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You can only generally drag the picture around once you choose the alignment of the picture.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you want a picture to act as a link, click the world icon/add link and choose an existing page or an outside link (like your email).


 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Inserting a Word Document, PDF, Excel file, PowerPoint, etc. **
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As above, Click on the __landscape icon__ that says "File".
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">On the Images & File pop-up : Click "Upload Files", which will bring you to your files on the computer.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Double click the file you just uploaded.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Tip:Click Save, not Preview. It’s easier to Save and re-edit.

**<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Creating Web links **

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Type the text you wish to make a hyperlink to an outside web page then highlight the text with your cursor.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Click on the first __chain link icon__ in the editor that says "Link"
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Click on the External Link tab and type in (or copy/paste) the web page URL address, then click on Add Link. It is also a good idea to check off the "New Window" box.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If using the copy/paste method when you paste the URL in the editor, be sure the prefix of the page doesn't appear twice. ie. [|http://www.google.com] as opposed to [|http://http://www.google.com]
