- Here are some simple instructions that work on my PC. Now that it's summer you should have enough time to play with them. Teach your kids! Everything you know! love and peace, jeanne
- Right click on the black and white image of Graduation below.
- Save the black and white image as graduation01.gif.
- Open Paint or some other simple graphics program.
- Call in the file you just saved in one of your local directories (that means on your own computer.) graduation01.gif.
- Be sure you remember which directory you put it in! The directory is the whole enchilada in red, like: c:\myfiles\graduation01.gif
- In this example you have saved graduation01.gif in the My Files directory of the C drive (your local hard disk).
- Then finish graduation01.gif yourself, using your own graphics program. One usually comes free with Windows. Find it by clicking on Start, then Programs, then Accessories.
