What is a bookmark/favourite?

A bookmark is a web browser feature used to save a web site's URL address for future reference. Bookmarks save user and browser time, which is especially useful for Web pages with long URLs or accessing a specific part of the site that might not be the homepage for the site. For instance a specific Moodle page instead of the Moodle homepage.

Track Changes

Track changes can be used to lock a document. Any changes made to the document after it has been locked will feature in a list of 'tracked changes' that can be approved or denied. These are similar to comments but will update the original document if approved.

Before leaving the campus

Before you leave either University campus with a University laptop we recommend that you sign into the laptop once. This is to ensure that your profile is loaded onto the laptop so you can be authenticated whilst off-campus.

Staying Safe and Cyber Security 

Please be aware that laptops, tablets and mobiles are targetted by thieves, consequently you should firstly stay safe - no device is worth risking a confrontation. Please try to camouflage that you are carrying such a device if you can.

Creating a Table of Figures in Microsoft Word

Captions are useful for providing context to images, charts, and other illustrations in your document. A table of figures helps readers navigate these elements quickly by creating a table with all 'captions' in it as well as their page number.  Captions can also be used to create a table of tables or a table of equations too, by changing the 'label' when inserting a caption, or inserting the table.

Turn off the Auto-Complete List

Outlook offers “Auto-Complete” suggestions for recipients in the To, CC and BCC fields when composing a new email. These can be very helpful, however it can sometimes result in errors when you’re composing a new email to multiple recipients or groups with similar names.

This help guide will offer different ways of managing these suggestions in your email account.
