Step1
Email:
To add an attachment:
1. Use compose to write email as usual,
2. Click on attach files or attach button (sometimes has a paper clip)
3. Click the browse button; it will come up with your computer files, 4.
Click the file you want to attach. (My documents usually has documents (from notepad, etc) and my pictures usually has the pictures.)
5. Wait for upload and continue to message and send.
To attach more files, just use the same process.
To open attachments:
1. Click on the attachment 2.Click save to my computer, or download.
3. Another window will pop up and click save or open. (Note; if you click open instead of save, it will open it to your view, but will not save it to your computer.) 4. It should then download to your computer and open with the appropriate program
Step2
Notepad or WordPad (which I am not 100% familiar with)
Notepad had a default setting for the font to be large if printed. So keep that in mind. To change the fonts use the Format button on the top bar.
Type your document, click file, and then save as…, type in the name and click save.
If you have WordPad, which should be in the accessories located near notepad, it is a bit simpler, in my opinion than notepad. All of the font and extras are displayed on a tool bar underneath the File, Edit, etc.
To open an existing document, just go to file, click open, and select the file you wish to open.
Step3
Copy, Cut and Paste:
This is a great thing to know and learn, it may take a little getting used to, but just practice in your spare time. And keep in mind you can copy and paste just about everywhere, including from most websites. (Copy leaves the text or picture in the same place, and just makes a “copy”, cut completely cuts the text or pic, and paste “glues” the text or pic to another place of your choosing)
1. Select the text or picture by holding the left mouse button in until all of the text and/or pictures are highlighted, usually in black.
2. Then click your right mouse button. Here you will find all your commands, cut copy and paste, etc.
3. Select cut or copy (usually copy when getting a pic or text off the internet). Once you have done that, it is on the clipboard, and will be saved until you click on paste, or turn off your computer. (Note: Only copy one thing at a time, and paste before copying something else)
4. To paste left click on where you want the text and/or pic.
5. Then click the right mouse button, and find the paste, and click it.
You can also use the edit button at the top of most pages and programs for the copy, cut, and paste feature. There are also easy commands for each. Ctrl + X is cut, Ctrl+C is copy, and Ctrl+V is paste. Try them all and see which is easier for you. You can always practice these features in any type of word program(Notepad, Microsoft Word, etc.)
To Save a File to a Disk:
1. Click on Start
2. Click on My Computer
3. Click on Folders (top)
4. To the left will be: Desktop, My Documents, etc.. Files are on the right.
5. Locate the file on the right you wish to save.
6. Right click it and chose Send To….
7. Send to…. Driver D: ( if using a cd)
(If this doesn’t work, try left clicking on the file, and dragging it to the the D: on the left)
It will then take you through a burn wizard, and just follow the directions.
You can also select the file from the file menu, if you are running Windows, you can use the “Move This File” option to move it onto a CD. (The D:/ drive)
