Have you gotten e-mails promising you cash, trips, or cars if you forward them to a number of people? If you receive an e-mail that seems too good (or horrific) to be true, it probably is! Before you forward some incredible offer (or warning) to everyone on your address list, please check it out to see if it's already listed as a hoax. The following web site lists many of the myths that are circulating. http://urbanlegends.miningco.com/culture/urbanlegends/

Microsoft Office 2000

Microsoft Office 2000There are many new features as you have perhaps already noticed with the conversion from Microsoft Office 97 to 2000. One enhancement is the ability to do a multiple copy and paste in all the Office applications. You can learn more about the other changes in our training class offered at the end of the month.

We are editing all the documentation and training resources available on the web. We appreciate your patience as we update this info.



New Stuff

New StuffThis is a time with lots of changes. We need to add a few hours to each day to get it all done! We are still installing and modifying programs. WordPerfect 9 is being tested and the remainder of the Corel Office suite is ready.

This semester, faculty will be able to request a list of the e-mail addresses and their WCB rosters of the students in their classes via the web----and the file will be e-mailed to them. No more FTP or Fetch or logging into NELL! This option will be available from the Faculty web page via the Administrative Button.



New SHSU Menu

The changeover to the administrative program listings has been made. When you type SHSU at NELL's VMS prompt, you access the new system. If you are having problems using the new system, call the Helpdesk at 1950 to set up an appointment for assistance..
