Next, I’ll insert a different image under each letter. I\u2019ve already taken screen clippings of the sign language hand gestures that represent each letter of the alphabet, so I can now insert these one by one.\nTo begin, I’ll click the blank line immediately under the letter “A” in the list. This is where the first image will be placed.<\/p>\n
When the cursor is active (blinking), I’ll click the Insert<\/strong> tab on the ribbon. In the Images<\/strong> group, I’ll click the Picture<\/strong> button.<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
In the Insert Picture<\/strong> dialog box that opens, I’ll browse to the folder that contains the images I’ve prepared, where I’ll double-click the first image that I want to insert.<\/li>\nOnce\u00a0the matching image is inserted on the line below the letter “A,” I’ll click to select the image.\nNext, I’ll click the Increase Indent Position<\/strong> button \u00a0 \u00a0 (as before, look for it on the ribbon, on the Home<\/strong> tab, in the Basic text<\/strong> group).<\/p>\nThe image below the letter “A” should now be indented:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’ll repeat steps 2-4 for the remaining letters of the alphabet until each letter has an indented image below it.<\/li>\n
As in the previous French vocabulary list example, I’ll now move my mouse over the alphabet letter at the top, until a 4-sided arrow icon appears to the left of it \u2014 just outside of the note container.<\/li>\n Next, I’ll move the mouse pointer directly over the 4-sided arrow icon, until the mouse pointer itself becomes a large 4-sided arrow:\n <\/li>\n
Now, I’ll double-click the left mouse button. This collapses the indented image below the alphabet letter.\nI’ll do this for each of the other letter\/image groups, which will leave me with a list of all 26 letters\u00a0of the English alphabet and their ASL sign language gestures that I can test myself on \u2014 each with a clickable, stacked arrow icon next to it:<\/p>\n
<\/li>\n
To check the correct sign language gesture for any particular letter of the alphabet, I can simply double-click the \u00a0 \u00a0 icon next to each letter, and an image of the correct ASL hand gesture will appear. To hide an image again, I can just double-click the icon again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nTip<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 You could also create a reverse list, where the image of\u00a0a sign language gesture is the test question and the corresponding letter of the alphabet is the answer.<\/p>\nBy the way, for those of you who have a Tablet PC (or a touch-capable PC running Windows 7), you can also make flashcards from your handwritten lists and from sketches you’ve drawn. And for those of you not in school, you can always use this OneNote outlining technique as a great way to hide things like “ice cream” and “candy” from your shopping lists!\u00a0 \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
