7. Transferring an Image from the Web to a Word doc
The Web is rich in images. If you copy and include the image in something you write, the origin of the image should be acknowledged. In a formal paper, use a style guide to cite your source. At the minimum, give the title of the Web site and the complete URL (you can just copy and paste the URL into your Word document -- Ctrl C to copy; Ctrl V to paste).

To get an image go to

• Corbis or go to
• GettyImages.com -- click on Creative then Search all Creative

To insert an image into a Word document:

1. On the Web, right click on the image; scroll down and click to copy
2. Open a Word document (START -> programs -> Word)
3. Position your cursor where you want the top left part of your image to be and paste (Edit -> Paste, or Ctrl V)

Your image is there. You can write next to and below the image. To put text around the image -- click on the image, go to Format -> Picture. Click on Wrapping tab, and select the wrapping format you want.

8. Help in writing papers and writing citations

• Cabrillo's Writing Center -- get help here on campus!
• Use OWL (Online Writing Lab) at Purdue University for lots of good information about researching and writing papers.
• You may find it fun to use a program on the Web that formats citations for you. It's called NoodleTools. Scroll down and click on Noodle Bib MLA Starter.

9. Going on to a four year college

• First thing to do is visit the Transfer Center at Cabrillo College
• Check articulation agreements between Cabrillo and other colleges and universities using ASSIST
• Use California Articulation Number System to identify equivalent courses on various participating campuses
