Downloading Your Timetable from the student Intranet
Don’t print the whole thing – print only a page (week) at a time.
Best to download it to a computer or floppy disk and view.
To download (right click on the timetable link on the student Intranet),
Then left click ‘save target as’ - Save As box appears – save the file (my documents or floppy disk).
Locate the excel file and open. (use View and Zoom to choose 75% or 100%)
use the arrows and tabs to find the week you want. Re-save the timetable.
