Instructions
Step 1
A document file is understood as a document that is created in any text editor. What text editors do you know? There are quite a few of them; from the standard solutions of the line of Windows operating systems, one can single out Notepad and WordPad. The well-known file manager Total Commander includes a separate product - AkelPad, and the Microsoft Office package can offer the creation of a text document in MS Word. As you can see, there are plenty of applications in which you can create a document file.
Step 2
Now let's take a look at how to create a document in the above programs. One of all the simple word processing programs out there is Notepad. It can be launched from the Start menu by selecting the notebook icon from the list of standard programs. When this application is launched, a temporary file is automatically created and saved to a folder designated by the operating system. When you exit the program, a message will appear on the screen asking you to confirm the request to save the file. You can also save the file in another way: click the "File" menu and select "Save As". In the window that opens, specify the path to the save folder and click the "Save" button.
Step 3
The next text editor from the set of standard Windows programs is WordPad. This utility is also intended for writing texts and saving, but here you can format the text so that when printed, it looks nice and is pleasant to read. The principle of saving the file in this editor has not changed compared to the previous opponent. True, the interface of this program in the Windows Seven operating system has slightly changed and instead of the usual for all menus, separate buttons have appeared, which looks much more convenient. To save the file, it is now enough to press the only button "Save" with a diskette image.
Step 4
In the AkelPad editor, the principle of saving documents is the same as in a notepad, so there is no point in writing the same thing. The MS Word text editor keeps itself apart - with its help you can not only add formatting to the text, but also a description of some elements, it became possible to add hyperlinks, macros, inserts, etc. In versions of this program, starting with Microsoft Office 2007, the navigation bars have completely disappeared and tabs for smart control have appeared. To save, a separate button "Save" is highlighted in the form of a floppy disk, as in the case of WordPad in Windows 7. This operation can also be done by pressing the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + S.
