  1. Setting up your project

Connecting to Your Class Folder

Before you begin working in InDesign, you'll need to connect to your class folder. Your project folder (and all audio files related to your project) will live in this location.

  1. Right-click the Start button (bottom left) and select File Explorer.

  2. In the File Explorer window, click This PC (on left.)

  3. Click the Computer tab (top of window.) In the drop-down menu, select Map network drive.

  4. Leave the default Drive letter selected. In the Folder field, copy and paste the following string (be sure to copy the full string): \\ad.uwm.edu\shares\_U_LS\Courses\JAMS

  5. Click Finish. Your class folder will appear in the This PC area as a connected drive.
