How do you save a background or icon? With a PC mouse, put the
arrow
over it, then click on the right mouse button and on the drop
down
window, select "Save image as" and save it on a disk or on your
C-Drive so you can put it on your web page. With a Mac,
hold
the mouse button down until the drop window appears. Make
folders
first for at least 1) backgrounds; 2) icons; 3) animated;
4) lines; 5) buttons; and 6) picture images.
This minimizes confusion if you save very many of various items.
