                                                             ii.      Look back until you find a section heading. Like on p. 5     ----------------------------------------------------------->

1.      Note: ADVERTISING is the main folder, Sales & Promos is a subfolder in which you will find the file name.

2.      Or, drag the image file to the task bar and hover over the OPEN document until it comes forward, and then drag the image over to your document.

c.  Just browsing around...either the clip art OR photos. Use the built-in Windows Explorer Browser and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to browse through the images (see 1biv. above for the location). (You can also use the Windows + F key to Keyword Search the ClipArt if you have mapped the Public Drive in the 2nd semester).

                                                               i.      Remember, there are several TYPES of images with similar categories. For example, Holiday Images exist in Vector, Raster, Classic, AND Traditional. So, look around.

If you are looking for my selected best, look in the folder of "Edits" which is the folder where I pile up most of the ones I have edited or plan to edit. Otherwise, it will be like looking for "a needle in a haystack".

    \\Wbphoto\public\pictures\Misc_Pictures\ -  NOTE: do not use other student's photos for which you do NOT have permission. If I took the pictures, you can use them with out asking me. IF IN DOUBT, ASK!!!
