1. Insert a picture from a file
To insert a picture from your scanner or camera, use the software that came with your scanner or camera to transfer the picture to your computer. Save the picture, and then insert it by following these steps.
· Click where you want to insert the picture in your document.
· On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Picture.
NOTE Some commands shown are not available in Word Starter.
· Locate the picture that you want to insert. For example, you might have a picture file located in My Documents.
· Double-click the picture that you want to insert.
You can reduce the size of a file by linking to a picture. In the Insert Picture dialog box, click the arrow next to Insert, and then click Link to File.
To resize a picture, select the picture you've inserted in the document. To increase or decrease the size in one or more directions, drag a sizing handle away from or toward the center, while you do one of the following:
• To keep the center of an object in the same location, press and hold CTRL while you drag the sizing handle.
• To maintain the object's proportions, press and hold SHIFT while you drag the sizing handle.
• To both maintain the object's proportions and keep its center in the same location, press and hold both CTRL and SHIFT while you drag the sizing handle.
2. Bullet Points and Numbered Lists
2. Bullet Points and Numbered Lists
If
your book is fiction, you may not have use for this information, but I urge you
to read it anyway. You never know when you’ll have to use bullet points or
numbered lists in your ebook.
If
your book is non-fiction, there’s a high chance you use lists in your book.
They’re a great way to categorize, separate, and emphasize bits of information
without confusing the reader with huge blocks of text.
The Big No-No
Before
we get started, just remember one thing. There’s one big no-no (and it’s an
easy no-no to remember). Under NO circumstance use Microsoft Word’s built-in
options for bullet points and lists. In Microsoft Word for PC, you’ll see them
in your Home tab up top, in the Paragraph section. Below is an image of where
you can find the list options in the Mac version of Microsoft Word 2011.
Why not Microsoft Word’s
built-in options?
Because
when you put the .doc through Amazon’s one-size-fits-all conversion software,
it doesn’t recognize Word’s built-in options and leaves you with a messy ebook
Bullet Points
On
a PC, just press Alt+7. That’s it. Hold down your Alt key and press 7 on the
number pad. That creates a bullet point. On a Mac, press Option+8 for the same
result.
From
there, all you have to do is space them however you want to. I just do the
bullet point, then a space, with a single line space above and below the other
items on the bulleted list. You can also create a special style that uses a
hanging indent if you want it to look just like Microsoft Word’s built-in list
option where each line of text is aligned on top of each other.
Numbered Lists
These are just as easy as bullet points. Just put the number,
followed by a period and a space. You can also create a style just for numbered
lists. If you do this, you’ll have to create one specifically for numbers 1–9,
another for numbers 10–99, etc.
3. How to insert symbols using alt key +
numpad
You will learn how to insert symbols
like ƒ¢♣ using the alt key and the numpad. I will also include how to put
symbols in Microsoft Word.
Microsoft Word
1. In Microsoft Word, go to Insert
tab.
2. Click Symbol -> More Symbols...
3. Pick on the symbol you want to
insert. There are plenty of symbols here.
Now you have a symbol.
On most applications such
as Mozilla Firefox or Notepad, you don't have the option to insert symbols. In
this case, you're going to use the alt + <number> method.
To do this:
1. Press and hold the Alt key.
2. Type the code of the symbol you want in the numpad (the numbers on the top
will not
work)
3. Release Alt key
Examples of some alt key
codes:
Alt + 0153 = ™
Alt + 02222 = ®
Alt + 3 = ♥
Alt + 0223 = ß
Alt + 668 = £
Alt + 95252 = ¶
Alt + 65454 = «
Alt + 21232 = ≡
Alt + 95236 = ♦
