Saving your work
- If you save your work by using the Save icon or File / Save, it will automatically save to My Documents. This will be cleaned out at the end of your session and your work will be deleted. This is for your protection so that your files are confidential to you.
- To permanently save your work please save to the A: drive (floppy disc) using the Save As command.
- Floppy discs are available for purchase from staff if required.
- We advise you to save your work throughout your session, at least every three or four minutes if the document is important. In the event of a powercut, or other unforseen problem, at least some of your work is saved.
- We advise you to save and print your work well before the end of your session. (3 minutes before the end of your booked session you will be reminded to save your work).
Printing your work
- Click on the print icon to print in black and white (10p per A4 sheet - back to back counts as two pages).
- All printing is to be collected from the enquiry desk
- You will be charged for any print outs that are not collected and the amount outstanding will be added to your library ticket. Print outs will be kept for a week.
If you require help please ask library staff.
