Tips and Tricks

Wordle You need a catchy summarizing visual of your report or talk? Why not generating a nice image using the free tool Wordle (http://www.wordle.net).

Wordle generates word clouds from the text that you provide. You can edit the cloud by removing common words (works for almost all major languages).

The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with numerous fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. But be aware that an external server might not be the appropriate place for confidential information although the provider states it is safe. You can also enter the
