Open a blank document
TextEdit automatically opens a blank document window, ready for you to work.You will, at some point, open an application that doesn't automatically provide a blank window. In that case, just go to the File menu and choose "New."At some point you might also want to choose a new blank window when you've finished with one document and want to get started on another. You don't have to quit the applicationjust open a "New" document. You can have as many documents open at once as you like.
New vs. Open
The first time I went to the File menu to open a blank document, I saw the options New and Open. And I thought, "Well, I want to OPEN a NEW one." It confused me mightily. This is the difference:NEW:
Opens a blank, untitled, unsaved document.OPEN:
Opens an existing document of your choice that has already been titled and saved. Perhaps you want to continue working on it or make changes.
Exercise 2:
Type.
| 1. | One quick thing before you start typing: Go to the "Format" menu in TextEdit and look for the command "Wrap to Page." If you find it, choose it (if not, skip to Step 2). The "Wrap to Page" option displays your page closer to what it will look like when you print it.
This is called "Wrap to Page." | | 2. | Just start typing. Type at least a paragraph, ignoring typos.At the ends of lines, do not hit the Return keythe text, as you type, will bump into the far-right edge and bounce back to the left side automatically.
This is called "Wrap to Window." | | 3. | Do hit the Return key at the end of a paragraph. Hit it twice if you want a double space between your paragraphs. | | 4. | Go to the next page in this book and read about the insertion point and the I-beam, then continue with the exercises. |
