2. You can get specific help by calling
or visiting the friendly people at the
UNR help desk. Or, visit the tutorial
sites listed on the website instructions.
3. Don’t wait until the last minute to
learn the mechanics of composing a
webpage. I actually don’t know that
much myself, so if you are close to the
deadline, and are having major
problems, I won’t be able to help. I will
be happy to help with any
developmental biology questions that
you have.
4. You are free to customize any parts
of the template.
5. Inserting a picture: in Word, you can
draw (View, Toolbars, Drawing); paste
pictures (Insert, Picture, From file;
