Adding a Picture

Picture clues can be added to words in the vocabulary database. After you have chosen the option to Edit a vocabulary database from the main menu, follow the steps below to add a picture to a word. Only one picture can be associated with each word.

To add a picture to a word:

  1. Highlight the word that you want to add a picture to and click the Edit button. Or, you can click the Add button if you will be adding a picture to a new word.

  2. Click the Picture button.


    Navigate to the location (directory/folder) where the program will find the picture file.

  3. Select the picture and click the Open button. A dialog box will appear showing the picture that you have chosen. Click the Close button to return to the Edit Record or Add Word dialog box.

    When a student is completing a puzzle on the computer or creating a new puzzle, the picture button in the top right corner of the puzzle screen will become active if a clue with a picture is highlighted. When no picture is associated with a clue, the picture button will appear dimmed.

NOTE: Pictures added to a word or clue must have 256 colors or less and have no dimension greater than 400 pixels (400x400). If your picture is a 24-bit image, open the image in Paint, and choose Save As from the File menu, and change the file type to 256 color bitmap. The image must be in .BMP (Bitmap) format.

Word search with words puzzles do not include pictures.
