Questions?

Help documentation can be found in Word under the yellow question mark on the DotOffice toolbar. A number of frequently asked questions are available in the FAQ menu . If you still have unanswered questions, please contact your local service desk .

Working at home

DotOffice can be used at home by utilizing a special facility which transfers the program files and your Word and PowerPoint settings to a USB stick. This special facility is available in Word via the DotOffice button. When DotOffice is activated an extra toolbar appears – ‘Off-line’ – which contains a button ‘DotOffice -> USB’. Plug in a USB stick and follow the instructions which appear onscreen. You will then be able to use the house style at home.

RTF files

If you are not a Windows user but would like to create documents in the house style, you can request the necessary RTF files from huisstijl@rug.nl.

Forms

A tool for creating forms according to the house style is now available on request (huisstijl@rug.nl).
