Uploading trouble
 
Hello to all of you,
I have been trying to upload a workpage with three pages but only the FIRST and LAST pages were uploaded. After five attemps I decided to split the pages and  the uploading went fine. Any ideas why this happened?
Have a very nice day!

The preview sometimes DOESN �t SHOW all pages.
Try to upload all pages in one file again.
Then download the file (it is free to download your own ws) and you will see all pages ARE there...
If some pages are missing in the preview, state it in the description of the ws. No problem, we are used to this situation... :-)
When you upload ws with many pages, state it in the name eg:

My Family - 10 pages + BW
The ws gets much more points then...
You can upload also colourful AND bw no pic version in one file. Good for OHP + photocopier.

While making a new ws, try to resize pictures before inserting them into the document... there are free resizing websites and software. You can resize hundreds of pics in one folder in 5 minutes :-) It saves space on the harddrive and the ws are "small sized".
http://www.picresize.com/ - online resizing - one pic at a time
http://www.pixelapp.com/Free-Photo-Converter.htm - free reziser for folders of pics - convert: jpg, bmp, gif, png, tiff - very fast - 20 pics in 10 seconds :-D.

Good luck! Don �t hesitate to contact me via PM... Ready to help :-D

Dear Moravc,
That really nice of you to give so much explanation on the board because it helps other people too. I �ve been wondering for quite a while how to do such things but very often the answers were "I �ve sent you a pm" which is very fustrating because I don �t want to ask the same questions as others again and again.
Lot of people are ready to help along with having so much imagination about what to give to their pupils and after more than six months as a member, I �m still amazed at how much one can do.

Thanks for your kind words... More tips for the newbies:

the first page of your worksheet is your "advertisement"
When you make the first page interesting, you will gain more points. The name of the worksheet is important too...

Some teachers here download in a hurry, so they don �t read the description carefully...
Most of the teachers need the bw version for students, they don �t distribute the colour version... The colour version is used for OHP - displayed on the "wall".
