Visual images (pictures, charts, or maps) used in verbal texts are not merely decorative; they are part of the exposition. A map can enhance the specificity of geographical and historical references; the reproduction of a painting, and especially of a detail, can focus attention for analysis. This tutorial is intended to provide basic instruction in capturing, manipulating (compressing or resizing), and exporting of images into texts to be printed or used in websites. Some instruction in the creation of simple images, including image labels, and images hyperlinked to text are also included. Athough this tutorial makes use of specific software on PC and Mac platforms, including Macromedia Fireworks® and Dreamweaver®, Microsoft Word® and Netscape Composer®, the instructions will be sufficiently generic so that they can be adapted to most commonly used programs.
