Note--The following directions were written for use with Word 98 as a word processing program, and Netscape as an internet browser. Theses programs are on the computers in the HSU computer labs. You will probably have to incorporate some changes if you use another word processing program/browser. If you are using a very old word processor program you will probably not be successful in your efforts to get your gel pictures from the internet and into your document.

The steps involved:

1. Accessing the images

2. Saving the images from the internet

3. Importing images into text files

4. Changing the size of the image

_______________________________________________________________________

a. go to the BIO410 home page:

b. select the link to the index of images for the first paper

c. select a link to an image that is relevant to your paper, make sure that the image displayed is the one that you want

d. Go to the toolbar at the top of the screen, and under the ‘FILE’ menu, select ‘Save As’

e. On the ‘Save As’ screen, you will have the option of saving the file in two different formats, ‘Source’ and ‘Text’. The default setting is text—change this to ‘Source’. Then name your image, select the folder you want it save in, and save the image.

a. From within your text file, move the cursor where you want the gel image to be.

b. Go to the toolbar at the top of the screen, and click-and-hold ‘Insert’, move the cursor to select ‘Picture’, and then select ‘from file’ from the pop-up menu associated with ‘Picture’

c. Select the image that you just saved from the internet, and then select ‘insert’.

d. The image should now appear in your text document. To change the size of the image, click on the image with the cursor so that the image is selected. Then click-and-hold one of the corners of the image to drag the image size so that it fits into your column or across the page.
