Printing your work

Using a file extension
Most programs assign an extension to the file name that
identifies the file as being created in the program with a
particular format. For example, Microsoft Word saves files
with a .doc extension. Any file name with an extension of
".doc" is assumed to be a Microsoft Word file. Creating your
own extension is usually unwise, since the program is
unlikely to recognize a strange extension and may refuse to
handle your file correctly.
Printing your work
Ensure the operating system is set up for your printer as
described in
To print a file:
1 If your printer is not on, turn it on.
2 Open the File menu of your Windows
Print.
TECHNICAL NOTE: By default, the Windows
system does not show file extensions. For information on
showing or hiding file extensions, see your Windows
online help.
"Setting up your printer" on page
HINT: You only need to set up the printer the first time you
connect it. If you use more than one printer or are changing
printers, you will need to set up the Windows
system to run with the additional printer(s).
