Using a file extension

Most programs assign an extension to the file name that

identifies the file as being created in the program with a

particular format. For example, Microsoft Word saves files

with a .doc extension. Any file name with an extension of

“.doc” is assumed to be a Microsoft Word file. Creating your

own extension is usually unwise, since the program is

unlikely to recognize a strange extension and may refuse to

handle your file correctly.

TECHNICAL NOTE: By default, the Windows

XP operating

system does not show file extensions. For information on

showing or hiding file extensions, see your Windows

online help.

Printing your work

Ensure the operating system is set up for your printer as

described in “Setting up a printer” on page 70.

HINT: You only need to set up the printer the first time you

connect it. If you use more than one printer or are changing

printers, you will need to set up the Windows

Professional operating system to run with the additional

printer(s).

To print a file:

1 If your printer is not on, turn it on now.

2 Open the File menu of your Windows

program and click

Print.
