Learning the Basics

Printing your work

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 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

®

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

In your Windows

®

-based application, click File, and then Print.

The program displays a Print dialog box.
