read this: How can i assign a footprint to a symbol?
maybe also: What is the difference between footprints and symbols?
The resistors you search are in the Resistor_THT footprint lib (assuming you run version 5)
Just a heads up: There is no standard 1/4 Watt resistor. They vary quite considerably in size depending on the technology used. So go to your favorite distributors website and decide which one to buy. Then with its measurements in hand can you know which footprint to use. (you need the diameter and length of the resistor body in mm.)
Even when you have the correct body measurements you still have a choice to make. Do you want to mount your resistor vertically or horizontally? How far apart to you want the leads to be in the final product? These are all choices nobody but you can make! (This is why there are multiple footprints for the same tht resistor in the lib)
