How do I download images?

When you have reached the page with the large image you want to use, you will need to copy this image to your computer. The images have been saved in JPEG format, and can be used in most applications but we recommend Microsoft Word or Quark Express.

Use the instructions below for the type of computer that you are using.

If you are using a PC

Place your cursor over the image, then click and hold the right button on your mouse. Depending on your browser, you will be able to choose an option that allows you to 'save' or 'download' the file to your disk or computer. Choose this option, and you will then be asked where you want to put the file on your computer e.g. the desktop or to a disk. Save it, and you're ready to go.

If you are using a Mac

Place your cursor over the image, hold down the 'Control' key and then click the image. Depending on your browser, you will be able to choose an option that allows you to 'save' or 'download' the file to your disk or computer. Choose this option, and you will then be asked where you want to put the file on your Mac e.g. the desktop or a disc. Save it, and you're ready to go.

Creating a project is easy and fun and allows you to input pictures and writing of your choice together into one exciting presentation.

Templates are ready-made layouts that you can automatically fill up using the images and text that you choose. All you need to do is choose the layout you want for that specific page.

When you press 'Save Project', your project will only savefor 24hrs in your browser. So make sure you 'Open in Word' or 'Download to desktop' to saveit on your computer. See below (please note, if you delete your cache/cookies, your project will not be saved).

You must click the ‘Click to download’ button on the ‘Create a Project’ page to save your project to Word.

We have a restriction in place for the number of letters in each area of the page for text. Once you have downloaded your project to word, you can add as much text as you like.

You can't use "My Projects" on an iPad, this is because you need to have Flash player on the computer you are using and the iPad does not currently support Flash.

You need to have Flash player (version 9 or higher) on the computer you are using.
