Creating maps

Post by gwatts »

Hello all,
I don't see where anyone posted this before, but I :
Created a new generic book and named it Maps,
Downloaded some free bible maps.( OK if you refer to the website on the map) http://www.ebibleteacher.com for example.
Save each map as a .jpg file
Get photo editing software. ( I like GIMP )
Scale each map jpg file so the height and width will fit less than your screen resolution, about 75 %
Save this file, then copy and paste this file into a New Topic with a title for the map.
Photos work, also. They will pop up with the mouse over, just like the text file.
Remember though, pictures take more memory.

The Word software is great ! I take my flash drive wherever I go. To God be the Glory !

Just a note:
with the new version of TW 3.1 you don't need to resize the images: there is a new property in the 'Module properties' to allow auto-resizing of images. So you can just put the image in whatever size you want, and the end user will see it nicely,
