Welcome to Computing Services

At Hampshire, computers play an important part in academic (and social) life. Hampshire College has a state-of-the-art computer network available from dorms, labs, classrooms, and public spaces with access to e-mail and other services including the Internet. Many areas on campus are equipped for wireless networking, so you can check your e-mail or course assignments while having lunch in the dining commons or enjoying the sun on the lawn. We are committed to supporting your computing needs.

From THOR (Technical Help Online Resources) to the Help Desk, the Student Diagnostic Center, and our support staff, you will find answers to your questions and support when problems arise. Use the links at left to begin your search. Some of the pages may require your HampNet login. If you don’t find what you need, give us a call!
 

Tech Tip Extra:
Dude, Where's my File Menu?

Microsoft Office 2007 for Windows replaces menus with tabs and buttons. The programs are still packed with the same functionality, but you may have to look a little harder to find it. And help is available.

Online Training
Microsoft provides free online training courses. You can take them at your own pace, and complete exercises to reinforce what you've learned. You can find the courses on the Microsoft Website here. "Up to Speed with Word 2007" and "Up to Speed with Office 2007" are good places to start.

Other Online Resources
Microsoft has also provided interactive guides to help you find your favorite functions. You can find these tools here. And check out the mapping workbooks, a quick reference for finding features.

Oh, and that Office 2007 File Menu?
Most of the file menu commands are in the Microsoft Office Button on the top left of the screen.
