In Microsoft Word, click on File
then Save As. Always use
Save As the first time you save a document, and when
saving to your floppy disk, or to a specific location on
your hard drive. 2. In the
Save As dialog box that pops up, you will see
the words Save File In
or Save In - click the small down arrow
to the right. This will open a small drop down box. Click on
your (C:) drive. 3. At the
bottom of the Save As dialog box, you will see a
File Name textbox. Name the file according to
your teacher's instructions. For
example, this file might be named "How
to Submit Assignments" (leave off
quotes).
4. If you are using Microsoft
Word, the Save as type extension will default to (*.doc).
If not just click the down arrow to the right and select
Word Document (*.doc). You can also select rich text
format (*.rtf) to be compatible with most word processing
software. 5. Click the save button to
save to the location specified in step 2; the hard drive
(C:). 1.

word processing program you are using, such as WordPerfect,
MSWorks, or MSWord, go to File, Save As.
Follow the instructions 2 and 3 for saving to your hard drive or
floppy drive. Then click the down arrow to the right of "Save
as type" and select "Rich Text Format." After you
have named the file, click on the "Save" button. Note: If you are not sure what
version of word processing program you or your instructor are
using, save your document/assignment as rtf. This will allow
your instructor to open your document in almost any word
processing program.
The problem lies in the incompatibility of many
software file types. If an instructor is using a word-processing
application to open a document that was generated by a student
who used a different word-processing application, then it is
likely that some of these page-layout details will not be
evident in the file the instructor sees. The worst-case scenario
is that the instructor cannot open the student's file at all.
This worst-case scenario can be avoided by doing the following.
Regardless of the word-processing application
that you use to generate your documents, all students should
[save] their work as "Rich Text Format"
(.rtf). By doing so, instructors and students will
always be able to read the document text, and most of the
page-layout details of the original will be retained. During normal business hours
(M-F 8:00-5:00), if you still can't connect to
BB, but can access the WPCC web page, contact the Blackboard
System Administrators at
bbadmin@wpcc.edu
or call the following numbers: Melissa Grill at
(828) 438-6097, Sys Admin After normal business hours, and
holidays/weekends contact Jane
Carswell at
jcarswell@wpcc.edu
or (828)437-3081.
2. When taking a test,
DO NOT use your browser's
Back and Forward buttons. Blackboard pages are not
always accessible when you click the Back or Forward
button. If you try to use the buttons when you are taking a
test, you will exit the test. At that point, you will not be
able to get back into the test, because Blackboard thinks that
you have already taken the test. Instead, you will need to ask
your teacher to reset the test, so you can re-take the test.
