(If you don't have this template, see the instruction page "Load Print Template")
  • Select Viewed Objects and Include File Header
 
  • Save the file with a suitable name in an appropriate directory.

A suitable name would be xx999999.txt where xx is your School or faculty and 999999 is the date you printed the timetable e.g. JS010913.txt is the timetable file for Justice Studies that is saved on 13 September 2001.

An appropriate directory would be

C:\splus353\data\Semester_X where X is the semester

e.g. Semester_1
