Chapter 5: Files, Folders, and Programs
Creating New Files
5.5.1 Creating New Files
You can create files from within programs. As a general rule, open the program in which
you want to create the file, and select New from the File menu. A file name is suggested.
If you do not wish to use this, type a name of your own before pressing the OK button.
What names can I use for my files & folders?
You can use most characters in file and folder names including spaces, for example,
“1997 Purchase Orders and Invoices”. The only characters which cannot be used in
a file or folder name are: / < > : \ * ?
You may encounter difficulties if you use very long file names for files stored in
folders with long names, which are nested within other folders with long names, and
so on. If you do exceed the maximum allowed length, rename a folder or file to a
shorter name.
5.6 Start Menu - Documents
A quick way to find a file that has been recently used is to look in the Documents
menu on the Start menu. The Documents menu will list up to ten of the most recent
files opened.
5.7 Changing File Attributes
You can prevent a file from being accidentally changed by making it a “read-only”
file. To do this, right-click on the file and select Properties from the context menu.
Then check the Read-only box.
Files that have been created on a PC and then transferred to the netpad will also be
“read-only” files.
Note: If you transfer a “read-only” file to another machine, it can be viewed,
and the “read-only” attribute can be removed.
