Have you ever thought about how to add additional information to your Lectora® titles, but you’re not sure how? You can easily display information to your student with Web Windows. Web Windows allow users to view external or live web resources within a title. Select from the following web sources:

  • Local web-based content
  • Web Address
  • Page in Title
  • Google Maps Location
  • Wikipedia Entry
  • Google Document

1. To add a web window, select the Insert ribbon and select the Web Window icon.

311 Elm Street

Cincinnati, Ohio 45202.
