COPYING INTERNET IMAGES

You can copy nearly every 'Net image you like. (Keep copyright issues in mind, however.) These images include photographs and what we generally call "clip art," plus special images for backgrounds, horizontal rules, buttons . . . . You can use all of these for your webpages, for slide presentations, for newsletters -- almost any way you want to use images.

Here are three of the ways to capture (aka steal) images from the World Wide Web:

1.  TO SAVE AN IMAGE BY USING THE "SAVE AS" DIALOG BOX

1. In Internet Explorer, rightclick the image and use the resulting SAVE PICTURE AS dialog box to save it to the correct location. You should save it to My Pictures in the My Documents folder.  (Later, you will want to set up an organization system for your image files.)
2. If you want to capture a background file, click on the background anywhere; just make sure you have the SAVE THE BACKGROUND option in the dialog box.
  (If you keep all background images in a special folder, you will save time searching
3. You will have the opportunity to change the name of the image file. In some cases, you may want to give it a descriptive name that makes sense to you.
4. Make sure you save the file in the correct location.

1. Rightclick the image. Click COPY. (This option is not available in some browsers.)
2. Paste the image into an html document in FrontPage.
3. Select the option you want in the resulting dialog box to specify the name and location for your new image file.

3.  TO TAKE A SCREEN SNAPSHOT

1. Press the PRINT SCREEN key.  This puts an image of your screen on the clipboard.
2. Open an image-editing application and paste the image.
3. Crop/enhance to get the image you want.
4. Save it to the correct folder.

4.  TO EMAIL MULTIPLE IMAGES (OR OTHER FILES) IN ONE ZIP FILE
