Tips & Tricks
Please feel free to add any tips and tricks you have learned so the whole class can benefit from your knowledge.


 * Making a screenshot smaller: This may not be the most technical way, but it gets the job done.  After the image you insert into the Edit page, add "thumb|upright=3.0".  This command makes the image  at thumbnail, then adjusts the thumbnail to a different size.  For images you want to be wider, use a number greater than 1, for more vertical images, use a number less than 1. You can also center the image by using the "|center" command (Example: [[Image:This is an example.jpg|thumb|center|upright=2.5]]

Windows

 * To take a screen shot, press  and   together.  The contents of the active window will be saved on your clipboard.  You may then paste into a graphics program (like Adobe Photoshop or Microsoft PowerPoint) and save the file.
