Putting Images on Your Page
First a short lessons on images. There are three basic image types
that you use on web pages:
JPEGs, GIFs, and animated GIFs. JPEGs have an extension of (.jpg),
and the GIFs end in (.gif). Placing an image on a page is fairly simple.
First place the cursor on the paragraph or line you want to put your image
at, then click the place image button in the first toolbar.. It should
look like a square with a circle, square, and triangle inside of it. When
the window pops up it will say FORMAT on the title bar. Below you will
see three tabs: IMAGE, LINK, and PARAGRAPH. You start on the image tab.
The first line wants you to choose a file. Keeping in mind where your current
page is enter the path to the image you want to place on the page. You
can use the browse button but don't forget to erase the extra info (c:\foldername\foldername\).
After you have selected an image the rest of the page becomes active. DO
NOT click button that says Leave Image at Original Location.
The next section is for alternate representations. Then there are
entry lines for image and text. Skip Image and go to Text. First an explanation.
The alternate text is printed underneath the image so that people who don't
load up images when surfing web pages can read what the image is. For example
let's say you wanted a graphic banner. In the alternate text you would
type either banner or whatever the banner said: Welcome, Enter, Back, Next.
Always fill this in.
The bottom left hand side is for dimensions. You can leave this
alone. Communicator will read the image's size and automatically enter
the numbers. Do not specify an image size unless you want to change the
graphic's original size.
The bottom right hand side is space around image and border width.
If you do not want a border around your image leave width at zero. You
also shouldn't have to worry about space around an image unless you are
having trouble lining up odd size images.
Next click on the tab that says PARAGRAPH. Go to the bottom of this page to Alignment. Here is where you tell the image to be left, centered, or right aligned.
The other tab is for linking your graphic to a target or web page. Don't use this, it causes extra text to be printed on the page. Use the link button on the first toolbar, instead. Just click once on your image to select it and then click on the Links on the second toolbar and enter the link to location.
Hit the OK button and you are done!
