Did you know that a link to content can be added to a Bb Vista calendar entry? In the calendar for your course, click on the “Add Entry” button. At the bottom of the screen, click on the More Options link to expand it. You can either click “Add File” to link to a document, or click “Add Content Link” to link to an item within a Bb Vista tool (e.g., a Discussion or a Web Link). Only one file or content link can be added per calendar entry.

Ensure that the “Use HTML” box is checked, then click “Save.” When you return to your content page, you will see the text you inserted scrolling by on your screen!
In the Window section on the View tab, click “Split.” The screen will split and display the dividing line in the current window. To switch between the screens, use the F6 key.
If you have Adobe Acrobat installed on your computer, you can also choose to save a copy of your comments electronically. To do so, follow the steps above to print the comments, select Adobe PDF as the printer, and save the file to your computer. Both the print-out and the electronic file will contain a Comment List at the top that references all of your comments and revisions in the paper.
When you open a folder in Windows Vista, an address bar appears at the top of the Explorer window. The address bar shows the hierarchical structure of your system from left to right. For example, the top level could be the computer, desktop, etc. Under the top level sits the user level, and under the user level sit the user folders. At each level, you can click on a “flyout” arrow to display and browse the available folder(s) on that level.
