How do I author documents?

This website has an inbuilt editor included, very similar to that which you are used to in commercial programs, such as word, etc., Most standard documents in this site have used tables within the document to provide some 'structure' relating to the presentation of insignia images. Importantly, if you wish to add an image to the site you must do the following:

1. Prepare your image on your own computer first, knowing it's file name (only images that are .jpg or .gif are useable on this site) and location on your computer.

2. When preparing to write a document, upload the image to the correct location first, using the 'Image' icon - this will result in a pop-up window appearing.

3. Navigate to where you have stored the image on your computer and select the appropriate image.

4. Select the appropriate country folder to store the image within - all insignia images are stored within the 'Insignia' folder and are grouped according to the country.

5. Once the image has been successfully uploaded, continue to edit / write your article. Once complete, select the Edit / Insert image icon at the appropriate location.
