Getting to Know Windows 98
Lesson 3: Creating a new document
Windows 98 displays a shortcut menu of commands applica
ble to the desktop.
2 Click New, then click Text Document.
Windows 98 creates an icon on the desktop called New Text
Document with the icon name highlighted.
3 To give your file a meaningful name, type My New File and press
Enter.
4 Double-click the icon.
Windows 98 opens the new file in Notepad, the text editor built
into Windows 98.
Title bar
Notepad window
Notice that, as you open the file, there is a new button on the
taskbar that reads My New File - Notepad (the name may be
too long to fit into the taskbar space but, if you point to the
name, Windows 98 displays all of it). By displaying buttons
like this one, the taskbar helps you keep track of the programs
and files you currently have open.
To learn more about Notepad, click Start, then click Help or open
the Help menu by pressing F1. For now, leave Notepad open and
go on to the next lesson.
