Hour 3. Managing Documents

In this hour, you learn how to manage your Word documents. The topics in this hour read like a file clerk's job description: You learn how to store (save) files for later use, open existing files so that you can revise them, quickly access your favorite folders and files, and so on. You may already know how to use Windows Explorer or My Computer to create new folders and rename, delete, move, and copy files.
