Assignment 1:
Activity Overview:
Using word processing software to create documents has become a common task for millions of people. One of the simplest
tasks it can do is also one of the greatest benefits of using such software –saving an existing document with a new name. Before word processing software, one would have to re-create an entire document, even if it required just a few small changes from the original version. With programs like Microsoft Word, an entire document does not have to be re-created in order to make a copy with minor changes. The following activity illustrates how a Word document can be saved using one file name, editing that file, and saving it with a new file name.
New Skills Reinforced:
In this activity, you will practice how to:
1. Create and save a Word document.
2. Retrieve a saved document.
3. Save an edited document with a new name (save as).
