7. Defining Text
Choose heading size: h2 for “Profession” and h3 for “My major/field/ discipline.”
Write a brief description of your major, including your career plans.
Click on link button to create link to company web site or to professional organizations you belong to.

8. ADDING GRAPHICS
Place the cursor on the spot where you want the graphic to appear.
Click on the image button.
Fill in the fields with the filename and size of the graphic. For instance, the animated graphic I use at the end of my files is “Sisyphus.gif” and its size is 4 x 4, since it is a square.
Click the “leave image in original location” box.

9. Finishing
Save files created today to the W drive. This time you don’t need to put quotation marks around the filename; don’t add the extension html at the end of the file name because Composer adds that automatically. Ex. Save the file as profession, and Composer will take care of the rest.
