It is
important that you follow these instructions for submitting your assignments.
Use your own image
manipulation software applications to complete assignments (Photoshop, ACDSee,
or equivalent), and Microsoft WORD (version 98 or later) but it is necessary
to convert your word document to an .txt or .doc or .html file.
€ When naming an assignment file to
upload to me, use a LastName_Assign#.txt
convention for assigning a filename (use no spaces). Also, if you work on a PC, file names cannot exceed 9
characters (letters or numbers); so use only the first 5 letters of your
last name (Mac users have up to 23 characters they can use).
Example: Your name is Jane Smith; you are making
a Word file with your 01assn.htm assignment called Chairs:
your file name from Microsoft Word will
be saved as
smith_01.txt
Example:
Your name is Linda Lowell, your file name is:
lowel_01.txt
WebCT will not recognize
file names with spaces, or
characters that are not numbers or letters. If you use the Save As function
under file, you can save as an HTML file. DO NOT USE WORD PAD OR A SIMPLE
TEXT EDITOR.
