Not so Frequently Asked Questions



  • Zipping Documents
    Livetext allows a user to attach a certain amount of documents to each section. To overcome this problem, one can “zip”, or compress, all of their documents into one file. Most computers come preinstalled with a file compression program. If you do not have this program, you can download a free version at www.stuffit.com. Once you have compressed all of the files, it will be saved as *.zip file. You can now attach this file using the normal attachment steps within Livetext.

  • Embedded Video
    There is a wealth of educational videos found on www.youtube.com. These can be added to your portfolio using the following easy steps.
  1. Find the youtube video that you would like to include. I have selected an old WWII news broadcast from 1942.
  2. Next find the embed code in the upper right hand corner of the video.
