Introduction to LiveText New Generation (C1)


Sign-in at www.livetext.com


Focus of the Presentation Note:

This presentation is an introduction to LiveText and should be helpful for any new users (Students, Faculty or Staff).

The “focus” is the New Generation (c1) version of LiveText and, therefore, should provide assistance for Legacy (the original view of LiveText) users in their transition to New Generation. Please don’t hesitate to contact Phil Martinez ([email protected] or 951-343-4346) for further assistance.

The different types of documents all have templates built for them----for you to use. The LiveText set is very generic and good for creating new documents “from scratch.”

Please see the Course-related instructions for s simpler process if that is the mode of course delivery.


Help?, page 1

The best place for help is the LiveTxt Help Center. There are over 70 pages of help files that are nicely categorized for you needs and have good screen shots to help you become a LiveText Power User!


Help?, page 2

Near the bottom right edge of each LiveText screen is a [email protected] button. Clicking it will put you into an e-mail dialog box in which you can communicate with the LiveText customer support for 24-hour turn-around answers. They are often MUCH quicker than that!

Although the Help Center and Customer Support are much better options, you can always try to contact Phil Martinez at [email protected] or 951-343-4346
