Adding Images

Adding images to your lesson pages adds interest and enhances the learning.  You should try to add images to most if not all your pages, rather than creating pages with just blocks of text that are not visually stimulating or exciting for the student.

To add an image, click on the ‘Image’ option from the Author Mode toolbox.  Click on to the page where you want the image to appear.  An Image Library dialogue box will appear, prompting you to either select an image from the Library, or Import a file from another location on your hard drive or Network location.

Note:               Image types allowed are Compuserve Graphics Interchange (*.GIF) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (*.JPG) types

Click on the image in the Library window to select it, and click ‘OK’ to bring the selected image on to your page.

If the image you require is not already in the Library window, you will need to import it.  In this instance, click on the ‘Import file’ button in the Image Library dialogue box.  Locate the image you require and click ‘Open’.

The image will then be imported into the Image Library.  Select the image and click ‘OK’ to bring the selected image on to your page.

The image object may not appear exactly as you would like it to on the page.  Just as with a text object, you can set certain Image Options, explained below.

Move the mouse-pointer over the image box, and RIGHT-click the mouse, to view the options available for the image object:

Note:   RIGHT-clicking the mouse on any object will show the options available for that object.
