Photo Album Movie Guide

Watch the movies below for the program you are using. The step numbers match the step by step guide. You can watch all the movies or just watch the ones for which you have difficulty following the written instructions. If the movie and the written instructions do not match exactly, that means both versions are fine and you can follow whichever you like.

Here are the Step by Step Written instructions for every step

And here are the movies - choose the column that matches your program. Adelphi does allow you to download the latest version as a student so please take advantage of that.

* Word 2010 and 2013 step 8 has one difference from the movie when formatting the picture so that the words wrap:

*        click on picture and the format tab will appear. Click on that format tab and then on "position" and then on "more layout options" and then on text wrapping and then you can choose the "tight" box and then the "right" button and press "ok". Then, drag the picture next to the text so the text shows next to the picture.
