Using Encyclopaedia Information

The information contained in a CD-ROM or multimedia encyclopaedia can be used in many ways:

• Looking up information for reading.
• Illustrating links between persons, locations and events by using Links.
• In addition to these methods, the information contained can be copied directly from the encyclopaedia and pasted into a word processor for incorporation into a student worksheet. The method by which this is achieved varies according to which CD-ROM you are using. Please refer to the Help menu on the relevant CD-ROM or see the section Getting Help. On the Encarta CD-ROM you are able to copy individual images, selected items of text or entire articles.
