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 an unusual extension and may refuse to
handle your file correctly.

TECHNICAL NOTE: By default, the Windows

®

XP Media

Center Edition 2005 operating system does not show file
extensions. For information on showing or hiding file
extensions, see your Windows

®

XP Media Center Edition 2005

online help.

Printing your work

Verify that the Windows

®

XP Media Center Edition 2005

operating system is set up for your printer as described in

“Connecting a local printer” on page 67

.

TECHNICAL NOTE: 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 need to set up the 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.
