Handing in an assignment using a computer:

1. Be sure you have saved your file in a professional manner. Your file should look like this:
LASTNAME_FIRSTINTIAL_NAMEOFASSIGNMENT.DOC

For example: mangt_ceureurdebois

2. Open up two windows: Open up the window that has all your saved work. This is either "home director" or "mydocuments". You must open a second window that has the submissions folder. To do this click on the "start" menu and click on assignments, then "tamang", "visualcommunications".

3. Adjust each window so it is a manageable size. Drag the file you want to hand in the submissions folder. Try dragging the file into the folder again and a message will appear that says "file already exists". This means you have definitely handed in your file!

Guidelines for using word:

- use either times new roman or arial font. These are the two standard fonts for school, from high school to college. Do not use fancy colour, style, or effects. Unless the assignments is supposed to be artistic, in that case you can use as much style as you want!
-always read over your work, even if using an automatic spell checker
-you can "double space" your work, which puts spaces between each line.
-always be sure to put your name on an assignment. You can even put your name and a page number in the "header" and "footer", which is a little more advanced, but still easy to do once you know how
