- How do I pick up an E-card?
When you receive an E-mail from the Liberty's Kids Web site about an E-card, it includes a Web site address (or URL). To see the E-card, type the address into your Web browser. If you get an error message, make sure you typed the address correctly.
To avoid typos, copy the address and paste it into your Web browser instead. To copy, use Command + C (or Control + C on PC). To paste, use Command + V (or Control + V on PC).
- Why do I get an error message when I type in my E-mail address?
When you send an E-mail on the Internet, your address must be formatted in the right way. You need a username (or screen name) followed by an "@" (an at symbol) and your Internet domain. Some common Internet domains are "aol.com" and "webtv.net." If you want us to write back to you, be sure to include your full E-mail address.
- How do I print coloring pages and other pages on the Web site?
Look for an icon that looks like a printer at the top of your browser window and click on it. If you can't find an icon, look for the "File" menu and select "Print."
Different computers and printers print out the coloring pages at different sizes. You may change the size of the image that prints by going to "Page Setup..." in the "File" menu of you Web browser. A window should pop up that shows the options for your printer. Find a section labeled "size" or "scale," and increase the number beyond 100% to make it bigger or decrease it under 100% to make it smaller.
- How do I color in the coloring pages?
You have to print out the coloring pages and then color them in.

Once loaded onto your computer, you will have access to materials that make use of that plug-in.
