There are many times when it may be useful to have an archived copy of a web page as a PDF file. For example, if you are uploading your syllabus to the Academic Deans and wish to capture your Moodle course outline as a PDF file.</div>
<div class="gradientshadow"></div>

====Mac Users====
This should be a straightforward process since Mac has the capability to create PDF files as part of the operating system. From any application on your Macintosh - in this case, your web browser - you will see a "Save as PDF" button once you've chosen File > Print (or it's equivalent).

'''Printing to PDF (on a Mac)'''
:#Open your the web page, such as your Moodle site, in your web browser.
:#From the File pull down menu, select Print. This should bring up a print dialog box.
:#On the lower left hand corner of the print dialog box, there's a PDF button, click it and select "Save as PDF". This will bring up another dialog box that will ask you a file name and location to save the PDF file.
:#select a file name and location and click on "Save". You now have a PDF file of your current Moodle front page that you can email and share.

====Windows Users====
To create a PDF of a web page on a PC, take a look in your web browser to see if you already have tools installed. You may have a "create PDF" button in the toolbar or an export feature under the File menu. Otherwise, choose "Print" from the File menu, and see if you can change the name of the printer to "Adobe PDF" or "PDF Creator."

If none of those options are available, you'll need to install new software so that you can "print to PDF." This is a bit more complex because you'll need to download and install third-party software. Once installed, making a pdf is very easy.

About Excel

Barberf:

__NOTOC__
<div class="intro">Microsoft '''Excel''' is a popular computer spreadsheet program. It is commonly used with accounting and statistics, but has a wide range of potential uses. It is fairly easy to learn to use Excel to make simple tables of data with automatic calculations through the use of functions or even accompanying charts or graphs. Excel also includes advanced features using functions and macros.</div>

Excel 2007 uses .xlsx as an extension to distinguish it's proprietary files from those that will open in previous versions of the program. Be cautious when saving files using the latest versions because your spreadsheets will not open on computers using an older version which uses the .xlsx extension.

====Accessing Excel====
Excel, as part of Microsoft Office 2007, is available in the [[Computer Center]] and many [[Computer Labs and Classrooms|other places on campus]]. Excel is available for Windows or Macintosh, and in theory it is possible to bring your files between platforms.

What Is A Good Password?

What constitutes a "good" password? Our digital lives are ever expanding, and most people have found that what was once a simple and easy to use password for your first email account must now be altered to fit the larger security restrictions of other sites, such as online banking access. Google offers the following password tips for the users of its many services:

* '''Be creative.''' ''You don't want to use words that can be found in a dictionary.''

* '''Use at least eight characters.'''

* '''Don't use a password that you have used elsewhere.'''

* '''Don't use keyboard patterns (asdf) or sequential numbers (1234).'''

* '''Create an acronym.''' ''Don't use a common one, like NASA or SCUBA. Combine it with numbers and punctuation marks.''

* '''Include punctuation marks and numbers. Mix capital and lowercase letters.'''

* '''Include similar looking substitutions, such as the number zero for the letter 'O' or $ for the letter 'S'.'''

* '''Include phonetic replacements, such as 'Luv 2 Laf' for 'Love to Laugh.''''

* '''Don't make your password all numbers, all uppercase letters, or all lowercase letters.'''

* '''Find ways of collecting random letters and numbers, such as opening books, looking at license plates or taking the third letter from the first ten words you see.'''

* '''Don't use repeating characters (aa11).

* '''Don't use a password that is listed as an example of how to pick a good password.'''

So what is ideal? A unique password for every site you access.

It can seem daunting, but it is one of the best ways to increase your digital security and prevent identity theft. To help aid you in this move to enhanced security there is a free in-browser app called LastPass, that will remember, autofill, and maintain a "vault" of passwords for the sites you use. It will also generate random passwords for you, for as many sites as you want. Learn more at [http://www.lastpass.com/ www.lastpass.com].

Check the strength of your current password at [http://www.passwordmeter.com passwordmeter.com]

Quota Limit Exceeded

Barberf: removed option of increasing personal quota

===Out of Filespace?===
You may have gotten a message from FSRM@orca.evergreen.edu telling you that you have reached the quota limit for your personal fileshare. These folders are very small (100MB) and should be thought of as a very small transfer station or (as some have put it) a safe deposit box. In any case, it's useful for transferring and storing smallish documents and files.If you've gotten this message, you may need to go back through your folder to see whats important to keep and what you can either remove or move someplace else.

If you would like more help cleaning up your folder, the folks at the [http://www.evergreen.edu/computing/academiccomp/home.htm Computer Center] can help you out. You can also give them a call at 867-6227.

===What are my options?===
If you have a critical academic need for additional space, you can also contact academic computing to see what other alternatives are available to you. An alternative may include one of the following;

* Requesting contract or project filespace for the remainder of the quarter
* Asking for a Program fileshare (must be through your faculty), or

To inquire about alternatives, please contact [http://rails.evergreen.edu/contact/?site=ac-computing-help&recipient=acadcomphelp&tt=true&subject=Email%20from%20the%20Quota%20Limit%20Exceeded%20Wiki%20Page Academic Computing] for more information.

This style guide is intended for use in the development of workshop/application tutorials in the computing wiki.
==Writing guidelines==
===Technical writing best practices===
* Avoid chattiness or personal opinion. Insert your personality in the classroom.
* Keep it succinct. Use clear and concise language
* Try not to use "you"
* Start each step with a verb if possible. What is the person '''doing''' specifically?
* Is it easy to scan for important content?

===Formatting conventions===
====Navigational Sequence====
When indicating navigation in the application use bold text and the '''>''' to indicate navigational sequence <br />
'''Example:'''
# Click '''Go > Connect to Server '''
----

====Variable text====
Use italics for text that should be replaced by user specific information <br />
'''Example:'''
# Enter your ''username''
----

====Punctuation and Capitalization====
*Start all numbered steps with a capital
*Do not punctuate the end of bulletted or numbered lists (no periods)<br />
'''Example:'''
#This is my first step
#This is my second step
#This is my third step but I need two sentences. See [[:Image:Mac calawah1.png | Figure 1]]

==Page layout==
* See [[Tutorials Style Guide - Example Page Layout]]
* Usage of section headers must be consistent

Scanning - Mac

2011-08-23T02:17:43Z

Barberf: /* Scanning */

===Scanning===
Scanning is accomplished with the use of a scanner and scanning software. An image editing program like Photoshop or Preview is useful afterward to crop, resize and adjust your image.
====How to Scan on Macintosh OS X:====
# Align the object in the scanner bed face down in the scanner.
# Launch '''Image Capture''' from the Applications folder.
# Drag the boundary box around the portion of the image you want to capture
# Set '''resolution''' (see below).
# Set the '''Format''' to '''TIFF''' (this is an uncompressed image file format)
# Note the '''Scan to''' location. This is where your file will be saved. You can change this.
#Click the '''Scan''' button.

Note: you may need to save your scanned file to the network space on Orca then move to another computer to continue editing in Photoshop or Preview.

Please ask the students at the front desk of the Computer Center for assistance if you have any questions.

===At what resolution should I scan?===
A good rule of thumb is to set the scan resolution at double what your final image’s resolution will be.

{| class="wikitable" border="1"
! Image type !! final resolution !!scan resolution
|-
| web image || 72 ||150
|-
| image for print || 300 || 600
|}

'''Small images:''' If you are going to be enlarging a small image the higher your
resolution the better the enlarged image will look. Experiment to get the best
results!
