QUESTION:

I am having difficulty typing into the template for our e-portfolio? I am inserting the MITTEN CD that was in our MITTEN binder and opening up the templates. Once I open the template I cannot type in the fields? What do I need to do?

ANSWER:

The files on the MITTEN CD is read only. Before you work on it you need to change to the preferences. Here is what you need to do:

1. Click on the template folder on MITTEN CD that you want to use it and drag it to your desktop, the entire folder will be saved on the desktop now.

2. Make a right click on the folder on your desktop and select "properties"

3. At the "attributes" section check-off the "read only" box.

4. If "Confirm Attribute Changes" window appears, choose "apply changes to this folder, sub folders, and files" option, then click OK. [Now you can make changes on each files that is available in the folder]

5. However, after the 3rd step above if you do not see "Confirm Attribute Changes" window. Hit OK and repeat the fist three steps for each file in the folder (those files named as index, overview, narratives, exhibits, and reflection).
