Preview a Graphics File

• Open Windows Explorer (Hold down the “Flying Window” key and press E)

• Maximize the Windows Explorer window

• Go to the clipart file folder you want to preview so that the individual graphic files appear on the right pane of the window

• On the Menu Bar at the top, select View, then As Web Page

• Click once on the graphic file you want to preview, and it’ll appear in the same right side pane.

Highlight Text

• Put the cursor at the left of the first letter of the first word or character to be included.

• Hold down Shift

• Put the cursor at the end of the section you want highlighted

• Press Enter

This is useful for text you want to copy and paste into a web page.  It’s easier than manipulating a mouse to highlight specific or long text.

Speaking of Text

• Sans serif font styles are the easiest to read off of a monitor for most people. Popular ones are Arial, Helvetica and Verdana.

When in Doubt

• Right Click

For example, if you want a picture aligned differently in a cell, right click in that cell and select cell properties.
