Usage Help for Tanach on Demand Files TIFF Files


Using the TIFF files generated by Tanach on Demand is not difficult, but requires three steps:

1. Download the TIFF file. (Read how.)

2. Insert the TIFF file into your document. If you are using Microsoft Word, you can do this by clicking on "Insert" from the top list of menus, "picture" from the sub-menu, and then "From File..." from the sub-sub-menu. Most other word-processing programs support TIFF images.

3. However, most programs, including Microsoft Word, will insert the TIFF file at the wrong size, so you have to resize the image. (Word does a particularly bad job.) If you see a grossly distorted image, perhaps resembling a bar code, you know you have to resize the image a lot.
You'll get the best image if you resize it to 600dpi.
Microsoft Word is one of the programs that gives you a grossly distorted TIFF image and furthermore doesn't let you set the dpi of an image, but you can change its size. To do this, click on the image after you insert it into your document. Then click and drag the black square at the upper right corner of the imgae to make the image much smaller. Finally, click and drag the black square at the middle right of the image to make the image much wider. You may have to repeat this process a few times to get the image to the size you requested. Once you get good at this, it only takes a few seconds. (If anyone discovers how to make Word behave better, please let us know!)
