zigzag Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Am currently trying to transfer our old paper sef into the new sef online. Friday night was going really well, got quite a bit done, then the site crashed on Saturday so waited until Sunday. Back online horay, got a little more done now it seems to have crashed again!!! I am so fed up I could scream, I just want to get it done and online, its bad enough that most of my weekend has been taken up with thinking about it, let alone trying to acess the blooming thing. Off for a cry now!!! Actually forget the cry will just resort to alcohol. 1
Guest Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Bad luck zigzag, not a good weekend for you. i don't have any advice I'm afraid but just wanted to offer my support. I'm not doing the SEF at all other than updating when we are closed this year, can't be bothered with the hassle of it so well done you for persevering

hopeytg Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 I have typed mine in Word with the plan to cut and paste it onto the online version - thinking that I won't loose lots of hard work - hoping that works but stuck on last section so leaving it for this evening
louby loo Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 You lot make me feel bad........ not even thought about looking at it yet. (half-term maybe???) xx 4

Not sure what I would be doing wrong.
Panders Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 From memory zig zag you need to use keyboard commands to cut and paste into the SEF. so crtl c to copy it and then crtl v to paste it, but maybe they have changed it now.
Cait Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 No that's correct, Panders. Highlight the text you wan to copy, Ctrl C and then go to the document and click where you want it to go, and press Ctrl V
zigzag Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 I really wish I had known that three days ago. :mellow:
Cait Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Didn't anyone ever tell you the keyboard shortcuts? Ctrl P to print something, Ctrl A to highlight all the text etc.
hali Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Elizabeth Elsom said today thre were real problems transferring old SEFs to new ones but it is being sorted this week
redjayne Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I have cheated - downloaded the format - filled it out and printed it - and sent a copy for scanning in by Ofsted as I can't get into the old one as my Head ( who is the registered person) has mislaid the passwords ! Waiting now to see if they scan and upload it for me as promised - and hopefully send me a new set of passwords - if not no sweat, I have a copy the inspector will just have to read when they arrive.... . :1b 1
Guest sn0wdr0p Posted October 17, 2012 Posted October 17, 2012 Cait, you always have the answers to the technical questions. I wish you were small enough to fit in my pocket and carry around with me. I spend so many wasted hours on trying to figure out IT stuff. I now know about keyboard shortcuts, thank you.
zigzag Posted October 17, 2012 Author Posted October 17, 2012 Never knew about them, but I am sure they will come in useful now :1b

alexandrasaunt Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Is anyone struggling to access the portal at the mo? Just spent days writing my sef and want to 'offload' it and be done with it. AAAAGGH.
lynned55 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 yep!! keeps telling me I either dont exist or that I dont have access to it. I've rung them 3 times, got cut off each time and am now waiting for a new security token. Obviously when I wrote the last sef i forgot to tell myself!!
