Editing Images
Often an image is too large to fit on the page. In such a case, it is necessary for you to resize the image before you can successfully publish the page.Resizing an Image
- After inserting an image (see instructions above), if you wish to resize it, click theResize button (at the top left of the window).
- After clicking the Resize button, you will see a blue box around your image that you can use to resize it. The proportions are automatically maintained.
Rotating an Image
- To rotate an image by 90 degrees, click one of the Rotate buttons (located to the right of the Resize button).
Cropping an Image
- To crop an image, first click the Crop button (located to the right of the Rotatebuttons).
- A box will appear on top of your image that you can resize to select only the part of your image that you wish to keep. The parts of the image that will be discarded are covered in blue.
- When you have selected the portion of your image that you want to keep, click the Crop button again to finish cropping the image

Adobe Contribute Tips
#1: To create a line break without a line space, hold the shift key as you tap the "Enter" key.
#2: Need to indent a single line, or one or more paragraphs, of text? Use the indent button (see image) NOT the space bar. Why? Because using the spacebar will result in a string of non-breaking spaces that could size differently on different browsers, resulting in a ragged left margin, or create awkward and unnatural sentence wrapping.
