Macrons | nga tohutō
Macrons - nga tohutō We use macrons at Wintec and they are available on most Microsoft Word fonts including our official Wintec font, Source Sans Pro and backup font Arial. If you choose a font that does not have this function available, it is best practice to use double vowels than to leave the macron out altogether. This ensures there is no possibility of the original word (kēkē - cake) losing its original meaning (keke - armpit). Four steps to make macrons easy: Add the Māori keyboard - Windows 10 / MacOS Switch keyboard - Windows 10 / MacOS Inserting macrons - Windows 10 / MacOS Add AutoCorrect words so you don’t have to keep switching between keyboards - Windows 10 / MacOS Windows 10 - Add the Māori keyboard Click the Windows icon on the bottom left corner of your taskbar Type Language Select Language Settings or Region & Language on some PCs Click English (New Zealand) Click Options Click Add a keyboard Scroll down and select Māori QWERTY Close window Windows 10 - Switch keyboard Click ENG in the bottom right of the task bar Click on the keyboard you are wanting to use i.e. English (New Zealand) Māori keyboard Windows 10 - Insert macrons Press the tilde ~ symbol key on your keyboard and then the vowel to create the macron Windows 10 - Add AutoCorrect words so you don’t have to keep switching between keyboards Check that your Māori keyboard is on Select File Select Options Select Proofing Select AutoCorrect Options… Add the word and then the word with a macron Use the tilde ~ symbol key and then the vowel to create the macron Click Add Repeat as necessary, once finished Click OK to close the windows Once you have closed and opened your Microsoft applications (Word, Outlook etc) auto correct will place macrons MacOS - Add the Māori keyboard Click the Apple logo Click System Preferences Select Language & Region Click Keyboard Preferences Click the + icon Find Māori in the list Click Add MacOS - Switch keyboard The Input Menu bar lets you choose different language input sources (such as English or Māori), it gives you quick access to switch between these language preferences and will appear on your menu bar once you enable two or more language input sources.

Unwanted Emails
Junk emails Junk email, also known as spam or unrequested email. It’s annoying, but harmless. Most junk email will be blocked and automatically goes into your junk email folder. If your email isn’t actually junk, you can mark it as not junk and it will move to your inbox. You should occasionally check your junk email folder to check for emails that are not actually junk. You can delete and move emails in the junk email folder just like all your other email folders. Phishing emails Phishing emails are an attempt to gain sensitive information about you or Wintec such as usernames, passwords and credit card details. Phishing emails are much harder to identify than junk email and normally look like every day emails from places or people you already interact with. Phishing emails contain links to strange URLs when you hover over the link. They will ask for: Login information or passwords Security details Credit card information To click on a link directly to access personal accounts or information What to do Don't click on any links in the email. If you have clicked a link, call the Service Desk immediately 0800 587 500 Don't reply to the email Advise the ITS Service Desk Click Forward To servicedesk@wintec.ac.nz Changing the subject to Suspected phishing email Click Send Report the email to Microsoft, this will notify Microsoft and automatically delete it Outlook in Office 365 in the browser Click Junk button from the menu Select Phishing Outlook from your computer’s desktop Select Report Message Select Phishing
