Learning the Basics

Printing your work

HINT: To make another copy of the file you are currently working

with, click File, and then Save As, and give the new file a different

name.

File names

The Windows

operating system supports long file names that can

contain up to 260 characters and can include spaces. Some

applications do not support long file names and require file names

limited to no more than eight characters.

You may use all the letters, numbers, and other characters on the

keyboard, except for these characters: \ / ? : * " > < |. File names

are not case-sensitive.

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

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 64.

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

operating system to run with the

additional printer(s).

To print a file:

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