Newbie Needs Folder!

Citrine1 · 11-21-2008, 01:29 PM

How do I create a new folder in Wordpad, then drag (transfer) file from another folder to the newly created folder, and create new files in same folder? (Looking to set up a folder for my favorite recipes. One is already in a folder that would need to be renamed and capable of having more recipes in it.)

I don't know all the jargon yet and am very confused by it all as I've only been around PC for approx 3 mo. Am trying to teach myself and keep running into multiple road blocks. Have learned a lot including how to uninstall 'Smart Shopper'. Would very much like to learn how to use Microsoft Office eventually and not just other people's websites. Need your help to get there, please. In baby steps!

Welcome to the forum.
Go to start then documents and right click on an empty space, scroll down to new then folder and left click. A new folder will be created called new folder, if the words new folder are highlighted just type in the name you want ( recipes, my recipes or whatever you like).
Whenever you download or create a recipe that you want in the folder use the SAVE AS feature and direct it to save in this folder.
Instead of Microsofts office why not download a program called "Open Office" you can find it on Google it is very similar to Office but it is FREE
If you are unsure about any of the steps above or anything is just ask.
