How to add content to your Web Pages

We have tried to make these instructions as simple as possible. Our assumptions are that you know how to use widows and a word processor. If you are not familiar with Windows, please take the time now to use the widows tutorial. If you are not familiar with your word processor, please take the time to do the word processor tutorial now. Tutorials are often found in the help menu.

2. Highlight the content you want to add to a particular web page.
   

3. Copy it to your clip board.
   

4. If this only content you plan to add in this session, close your word processor. If you plan to add more content in this session, minimize your word processor.
   

5. Load Microsoft Internet Explorer. 

(if you are using an internet provider like AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy, etc. you will need to load your MSI after your service has loaded. To do this minimize your IP and then click on MSI on your desk top. (You may have to install MSI if it has not be installed prior to this.)
