Organizing Files in Folders
Creating an efficient system for organizing your files is very important. You may have already experienced the frustration of spending hours on a document, only to have trouble finding it the next day. Even the very best documents won't do you any good if you can't find them later.
The nice thing about Word is that you can perform all your file management tasks from within the program. Create new folders and move files around. Also, you can work with virtually any file on your system, not just Word files.
Creating New Folders
You can create a folder on your hard disk and give it a name. Organizing files into folders by account, subject, project, or client helps you to locate the files you need quickly and easily.
To create a new folder, do the following:
1. In a Word file management dialog box, such as the Open or Save As dialog box, open the drive or folder where you want to create the new folder.
2. Click the Create New Folder button on the toolbar.A new folder dialog box appears in the file list.Type a name for the folder.
OR right-click in the file list and choose New, Folder. A new folder icon appears in the file list with the temporary name New Folder.
3. Type a name for the folder. Because the temporary name New Folder is selected, the name that you type automatically replaces it.
4 .Either press Enter or click in the file list when you are finished.
