CHAPTER 9

Editing Documents

To be productive with Windows, you need to know how to work with documents. In this chapter, you learn how to create, save, open, and work with documents and OneNote notebooks.

The document provides advice and guidelines for visiting Narnia, including warnings about dangers and pitfalls, respect for Aslan, and maintaining hope and faith. Additionally, there is a 'Character Map' window open, displaying various characters from the Arial font, with the copyright symbol (©) highlighted.

Create and Save a Document

When you are ready to create something using Windows, in most cases you begin by launching a program and then using that program to create a new document to hold your work. Many Windows programs (such as Notepad and Paint) create a new document for you automatically when you begin the program. However, you can also use these programs to create another new document after you have started the program.

After you create a document and make any changes to it, you must save the document to preserve your work.
