LibGuide tips: Using images

Sometimes you want to add a picture to your rich text box, but you don't want it to take too much space of your box. Then a thumbnail would be a perfect choice. Something like this.

Follow these steps to make your picture popup.

1. Click the picture you have just inserted in your textbook.
2. Click the Picture icon in the toolbar.
3. Copy the URL in the popup window.
4. Close the popup window.
   
5. Click the Hyperlink icon in the toolbar.
6. Paste the URL in the URL filed.
7. Click the Target tab at the top of the popup window.
   
8. Select Popup Window in Target filed.
9. Fill in Width and Height. These two figures depend on how big your picture is.
10. Fill in Left Position and Top Position. These two figures depend on where you want the pop up window be. Left Position 500 and Top Position 300 is my preferred setup.
