(10) To reduce the size of an Internet photo in PowerPoint, select the image, place your cursor over a corner of the image, hold the shift key, and drag the cursor toward the opposite corner. This will reduce both the image’s height and width proportionally. See page 7 for a diagram of this. (11) You can also use the crop function to make the image fit as well as it possibly can between the guidelines of your pages. The crop button will appear under “Tools” of the formatting palette when you click on the photo you are working with.
(9) Select images you have to reduce in size over images you need to enlarge. Enlarging images makes them pixilated. Reducing an image keeps the dots per inch consistent, maintaining photo quality.
(8) Remember that you need to use at least 4electronic images / pictures total in this book, and that you need to give credit on the back page for images taken from web sites. Keep a list of copied URLs from sites you’ve borrowed from.
(7) Avoid designing your cover, title and back page first. These pages will be worth fewer points, so save them for last.
(6) To write the book, use any notes you’ve taken in class and the grammar and usage section of the Useful Web Sites page on Mr. Stratton’s Classroom Online.
