4. Copy the URL/Citation for the picture from the website
Go back to the website where you got your picture, in pic4learning.com they include a bibliography for each picture, all you need to do is copy that bibliography by highlighting it, right click on it, and choose copy.
5. Paste the website on or underneath a picture using a textbox
Go back to your document, insert a text box, and right click INSIDE the text box and paste the citation. I enocourage students to make the citation font size very small so as not to distract the picture, the move the textbox underneath or on top of the picture (whichever looks better)
