Create/Edit Timetable

To make a new SeniorNet Nelson Timetable (Option 4 is my preferred option at the beginning of each year):

1. - Create a new table from the JCE Editor from scratch (see below for instructions)
2. - OR Create a new timetable in Microsoft Word (or similar program) from scratch
   - copy and paste it into a new Timetable article in Joomla (backend)
   - highlight the whole table and remove the formatting using the JCE Editor
   - modify/add any extra information and then reformat.
3. - OR Copy and paste the current version from the SeniorNet Nelson website into Word
   - modify the information
   - copy and paste it back into the current Timetable article
   - remove the formatting and reformat
4. - Save and Copy the whole Timetable article in Joomla
   - modify the information
   - copy and paste it back into the old article overriding the old information.
   This is my preferred option because it saves reformatting, and reorganising the menu.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Click Save regularly. Check the view from the front end of the website by clicking the Refresh button.
