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
®
XP
online help.
Printing your work
Ensure the operating system is set up for your printer as 
described in 
“Setting up your printer” on page 72
.
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
®
XP operating
system to run with the additional printer(s).
To print a file:
1
If your printer is not on, turn it on.
2
Open the File menu of your Windows
®
program and click
Print.
