the top item in the file option.
There can be many options in a menu list, these can vary according to the version
of the program currently running. An example of such a list is shown below and a
very brief description of its function.

The shortcut key combination is shown in brackets following the option name.

New (Control + N) - To initialise a new document.

Open (Control + O) - Allows you to open an exsisting document.

Save (Control + S) - Allows you to save a named document without clearing the
document. If you are working on a document for a long time it is recommended that
you save you work at regular intervals so as to minimise the loss of data.

Save As - This gives you the option of saving your document under a new name or
different format.

Page Setup - Allows the presentation of your document to be manipulated.

Print (Control + P) - Enables you to print your document on a printer attached to

your computer.

Exit - You can leave NotePad with or without saving your document, be careful.

Have some fun trying out these options. Please be careful when experimenting, we do
not want you to loose any vital data.
