Manage Documents and Files

I. Learning Competency with Code

LO 13. Utilize common application software

13.2. Properly manage documents and files by creating, saving, closing, opening,
editing and printing.

II. Background Information for Learners

Creating, saving, closing, opening, editing and printing a Wordpad

document.

Windows has come with a handy text editing tool called WordPad. You can
consider it a light version of Microsoft Word and a more advanced app than other
simple text editors like Notepad. As new versions of Windows were
released WordPad became more user-friendly and received some new features.
This tool allows you to create, edit, view, and print text documents. You can use it
to type memos, create quick reports and other simple documents. In this module,
you will learn where to find WordPad, how to use its ribbon-based interface, how to
create, save, open and close a new document, and how to edit and print
documents.

NOTE: This guide applies to Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. All
these operating systems include the same version of WordPad, with the same
options. To keep things simple, we use screenshots taken only in Windows 10.

How to open WordPad

Opening WordPad is easy and, like most things in Windows can be done in more
than one way.

 If you use Windows 10, search for the term “wordpad” in the search field found on
your taskbar;
 If you use Windows 7, enter the word “wordpad” in the search field from the Start
Menu
 If you use Windows 8.1, switch to the Start Screen and type “wordpad” on it.

Then, in any of these operating systems, click or tap on the WordPad search result.

How to use the WordPad user interface?

When you open WordPad, regardless of whether you are using Windows 10,
Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, its window should look like the screenshot below. The
WordPad window is identical in Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, and almost identical to the
one in Windows 7, except for a few minor visual differences.

As you can see, the WordPad window includes the same ribbon menu that is found
in similar word processing programs, such as the Word app from Microsoft Office. The
ribbon menu from WordPad is split into well-defined areas:

5|Page
 Title Control
Quick Access
Bar Individual Buttons
Toolbar
Control

File
Menu

Active Inactive
Tab Tab Group Ruler

Scroll Bars
Document Zoom
Area

The main menu, which is named File in Windows 10 and 8.1, offers basic options
like creating a new document, opening an existing document, saving, printing and
customizing page dimensions.

The first tab is named Home and includes customization options that are grouped
according to their purposes, and are related to the use of the Clipboard, Font,
Paragraph, Insert, Editing. The second tab from the ribbon menu in WordPad is
called View and offers a series of options for the elements displayed in
the WordPad window.

document in the Rich Text
Format, with the extension .RTF

the Office Open XML format,
using the .DOCX extension

document as an Open Office
document, using the

document as a simple text file,
with the .TXT extension
 Other formats: lets you save the

files.

 Click No if you do not wish to save.
 Click Cancel if you want to continue editing the document.

How to Edit an Existing WordPad Document

If you want to edit a document WordPad, you have to make use of the two tabs from
its user interface: Home and View. The first tab, the one named Home, includes
customization options that are grouped according to their purposes, and are related to the
use of the:

Clipboard: includes a set of buttons which allow you to Copy, Paste or Cut items in your
document. Of course, you can also use the keyboard shortcuts to perform the same
actions.

Font and Paragraph: probably the most critical sections of the Home tab, these two
sections offer you the opportunity to change things like the text spacing used, the
alignment, the font, size or color. All you have to do is select the text you want to customize,
and then select the formatting options you want to apply, from the Font and Paragraph
areas.

Insert: is the place where you can find options for inserting pictures, custom drawings, date
and time or others objects such as, for example, charts or different documents.

Editing: is the last section of the Home tab and offers options like Find, Replace or Select
all.

The second tab from the ribbon menu in WordPad, the which is called View, offers a
series of options regarding the elements displayed in the WordPad window, like Zoom and
the ability to Show or hide the Ruler or the Status bar. It also lets you choose whether you
want to use Word wrap or customize the Measurement units.
