Saving documents

It is recommended that all documents are saved to your 'H drive' within the University.
Choose ‘Save as' from the File menu and select ‘H' drive to save the document to. Please note that documents from PDP are word documents, but documents from the CMS are htm documents. You do not have to do anything differently, just give the document a name.

If you wish to save documents at home or off campus, do exactly the same at home but select your 'C' drive. However, we recommend you keep your documents in one central place so you may want to email your documents to your student email account or bring them into the University on a storage device such as floppy disk, USB pen or CD ROM.

Printing

The content of this website has been designed to be printed however it excludes the left hand menu and the top banner.
