html practice thread II

You CAN make a thumbnail with PSP, but making it clickable is a matter of HTML..(that is, adding a code that says "when clicking this pic, do 'x'"

his code looked like this, only with < > instead of [ ]

[a href=http://www.digizen.net/members/vwilding/daguys.htm] [img src = http://www.digizen.net/members/vwilding/thumnail.jpg[/a][br][font size=-3>Click the pic![/font]

one can either 'learn' this, or use an HTML editor that writes it FOR you...I am about to launch into a 2nd level of this. To show it here, I simply copied his code from the 'page source'....the trick of putting a picture on THIS page, (called 'inline' pics) is simply the part of the code that says 'img src..' etc...but Max has asked us NOT to do many images, since, if the page where the image is located is down, or slow, this thread will be very slow to load while it waits for that image. Ina passing thread, it might not make much difference, but some of these threads last for weeks, and are often refreshed, so a cute little image might be there for a few days, then be taken off, and the link would no longer work, and all your friends would be grumpy that the thread was S*L*O*W...

(I'm sure Wincing Devils page is pretty safe, but....)

(a couple of years ago, we did a thread that included a bunch of Winnie-the-Pooh images, and it got to be a real hassle!)

It involves using the code for "superscript"

^and

one CAN also make the suprscript a bit smaller type....

I think I can figure out the HTML, I was just curious as to the thumbnails. Don't worry, they won't be posted here! Actually I have a bunch of wedding pictures to show family that ended up too large for e-mail!

Thanks,
Mary

Hi Mary in Kentucky,

sorry I am not too familiar with Word, so I can't help you there.
But if you want to remove something at the beginning and/or at the end of a page, move the mouse cursor to the first thing you want, press and hold left mouse button, move mouse curser to the last thing you want and release left mouse button. The part of the page should now be highlighted. Now go to file menu and "print..." command. In the box select "Selection only" instead of "All" where you are asked for the print range.

cu,
MudGuard

this is to check whether Netscape can handle Russian alphabet:

to handle Russian..(Cyrillic) you would have to go to "edit,preferences, languages" in the drop-down menu, and choose to view pages in Russian...but then, anyone you wanted to post to, would ALSO have to have that option enabled...so it is not really easy to mix languages that do not share the 0-255 character set that is the Windows default....(now, there ARE programs to allow certain Asian languages to be viewed. One called NJWin has support for several, including 3-4 or more Japanese & Chinese scripts. It works only when you enable it, and 'looks' at pages you view, and renders any chosen characters in thier proper form.. Perhaps there is something similar for Cyrillic *shrug*)

I think I got it! Edit/Find/More/Special Turn on the Hide/Show and search and replace paragraph marks.

In general, you can search and replace in most word processing programs. The trick is to know the vocabulary for what you want to do so you can find the appropriate words in the help menu.

I made two mistakes (OK, three or more.)

1)When I copied and pasted into Word I did something wrong. It WILL work.
2) I didn't use the show/hide function to see all those paragraph marks.
3)I didn't know the words to use in the help menu. Somewhere in the search and replace help I read about the special button.

I'll play with this some more. I think for the kind of editing I want to do, I'll have to manually insert some kind of mark and then search and replace that mark. This was discussed here somewhere as a quick and easy way to put lots of break marks at the ends of lyrics lines.

I hate computers. To think I have made my living with the darn things since 1958, now I'm having to start all over again at Computer 101.
