Moving and Copying Files

If you accidentally save a file to the wrong folder, it's not a disaster. You can always move it to another folder later. Just be sure to move the file rather than copy it because you don't want two copies in two different places. Otherwise, things can get pretty confusing when you're trying to figure out which copy is the most recent.

To move files, follow these steps:

1. Select the files that you want to move.

2. Right-click a selected file and choose Cut.

3. Navigate to the folder where you want to store the files.

4. Right-click in the file list and choose Paste.

Renaming Files

When you save a file or create a folder, you try to give it a descriptive name. Later, however, that name may no longer seem appropriate. The situation could be as simple as a misspelling in the name, or a case in which the content of the file changes and the name needs to reflect that change. Regardless of the reason, you can quickly rename a file or folder in just four easy steps.

To rename a file or folder, do the following:

1. Click the file or folder that you want to rename.

2. Click the file or folder and press F2. An outline appears around the file or folder name, and the name is selected.


3. Edit the name as necessary.

4. Either press Enter or click in the file list when you are finished.
