STEP 9: A popup will come up for you to find the location of your saved picture. Remember this is why you saved it to the desktop. This makes it

easier to find. Choose the location "Desktop". Sometimes the items show in a list rather than the pictures themselves. You can change this by clicking on View Thumbnails. Then the actual pictures show up making it easy to find the one you are looking for. When you see the one you want

to insert, click on it Once just to highlight it and choose "Select"
