If you are using Windows XP, then you should just be able to
double click the zip file and it will open. Otherwise, follow these steps:
- Click on the link that directs you to the .zip file.
- A window will appear asking if you want to Open or Save it. Choose Open.
- You will need a program to open this file. If you have Winzip
on your machine, you will see the below window open.
- Click "I Agree" and follow the steps to unzip the documents.
If you do not have Winzip installed on your machine,
you might get a window that looks like the one below. This window
is saying that it doesn't recognize a ".zip" extension and wants to
know what program to open the file with. You will need to close this
window, download a free
copy of Winzip, and then open the zip file. Please contact
us if you have problems.

"Tier" is a term we used to use when referring to the CWU templated look.
Tier 1 is reserved exclusively for the CWU
homepage. Tier 2 is the departmental level homepage.
Tier 3 and Tier 4 refer to all other pages under the
department level homepage.
We may also use the term Level One for the departmental level
homepage and Level Two for all other pages under the homepage.

Working locally means that you are not working on your live documents directly.
For many of you this means that you should not work directly on your I: drive, which, for most departments,
is where all of your live web documents reside. Therefore, to work locally, take a copy
of the files on your I: drive and place them somewhere local, like on your C: drive. Edit these
files as needed, and then overwrite the existing documents on the I: drive.
This will ensure that you always have a current copy of all of your Web documents
and also allows you to edit pages without the world watching you as you do it!
Go to View -> Code View Options... and check the
Syntax Coloring option.

If you are viewing your Web page online and it doesn't look the way it should,
there are several possibilities that could be causing this problem. Follow these steps to
troubleshoot the problem:
- Force a hard refresh on your page. Sometimes your browser
may become "stuck." For Netscape 7 and Internet Explorer browsers, you can force a hard
refresh by pressing Ctrl and F5 simultaneously on
your keyboard.
- Validate your web page.
You should always do this before you upload a Web page. This will help you
find errors in your code that could lead to some very strange results.

If you receive an error similar to the one below, this is because you have
a browser window open at the same time that you are trying to
upload a Web page.
Specifically, if you have a browser window open on the page you are trying
to upload, you will get this error. Simply close the browser, wait about 2 minutes and try again.

Dreamweaver works the same way on a Mac as it does on a PC. However, when
setting up Dreamweaver, there are a few differences.
Wherever we refer to the local work environment being on the C: drive in a folder called
Web Files, just remember that the C: drive is just the name of your hard drive (HD). Mac
users can name this drive whatever they like so it will be different for everyone.
Additionally, your live web documents that are referred to as residing on the I:
drive. Access to the I: drive for Mac users will display as a drive named Zeus.
If you have any questions or problems, please give us a call at (509) 963-2810.

This can be fixed by forcing Dreamweaver to recognize the new templates
and updating all the web pages that use them in your Dreamweaver site.
Try this:
- Open just one of your web pages in your Dreamweaver site
- Go to Modify -> Templates -> Update Pages
- Make sure the Look in: textbox says the name of your Dreamweaver site
- When you click Start, Dreamweaver should go through all of your
web pages and update them.
Please note: if dreamweaver encounters any pages that are not in the template while
going through this update process, it will bring up an error box. Just click ok and it will
continue updating.
