The following procedure describes how to make slides from UpToDate
on a Macintosh computer:
Open a graphic image (such as a picture, table, graph, or
histology) by clicking its link in a topic.
Press the Command, Shift,
and 4 keys simultaneously.
With the mouse button depressed, highlight the desired portion
of the image.
When you release the mouse button, your computer creates a file
that contains the highlighted part of the image. The file is named
Picture n, where n is a numerical value that
corresponds to the number of files that have been created. Depending on
your operating system version, the file may be located either on the
desktop or at the root level on your hard drive.
Open your presentation program (Microsoft PowerPoint is the
program used in these instructions).
Choose the layout for the slide and a slide template or use
the default selections.
With the slide displayed on the screen, choose Picture
from the Insert menu, then choose From File.
In the dialog box that prompts you to select and open an image
file from your hard drive, select the desired image file and click Insert.
The selected image appears on your slide. You can then drag the
corners of the picture to resize the image, if necessary. We recommend
that you keep the original size of the image in your presentation, as
increasing or decreasing the size may result in a loss of image quality.
