ADDING PICTURES AND TEXT IN FORUMS
To have both text and pictures in the same post, choose the TABLE SYMBOL from above; it's the 4th symbol from the right. (It looks like a rectangle divided into smaller rectangles with the entire top section filled with blue.)

A TABLE PROPERTIES pop up box will appear. The only necessary boxes to fill in are "rows" (Indicate how many) and "columns" (Indicate how many.)

For example, if you have one picture and accompanying text, you would want 1 row and 1 column, forming 2 boxes side by side. If you have 2 pictures and 2 text paragraphs, you may want 2 rows and 2 columns, forming 4 boxes, 2 underneath 2 others. As always, you must be able to find the exact location of the desired picture on your computer. Usually it will be in MY PICTURES.

To PLACE TEXT, put the cursor in the box where you desire it and type what you wish.
