How to insert an image into a text document? Is it possible to use Notepad to work with several documents at the same time? Can Notepad work with very large documents?

Any action that the user does on the computer performs specific program, loaded into electronic stuffing system unit. Write text on the computer possible using various computer programs, For example, Microsoft Word , Open Office. Such programs are called " Text editor ". Text Microsoft editor Word is paid program, that is, it is installed on a computer for money, and not little. The Open Office text editor is a free program, that is, you can install it on your computer from the Internet for free. These programs have many various possibilities for writing, design, text correction and other possibilities.
The most simple program for writing text included Microsoft systems Windows, that is, it is already on your computer. This is a text editor called " Notebook". The capabilities of this program are very modest, but we will begin to learn how to write text for now in this text editor.

There is a "Start" button in the lower left corner of the monitor screen. Hover your cursor over it and click, that is, click left button mouse (first open new tab). Next, move the cursor higher to the inscription “All programs”, the inscription will be highlighted in blue. A column with a list of programs will appear on the right.

Move the cursor to the right in this column and select the inscription “Standard” from the list; the inscription will be highlighted in blue. Another column with a list will appear on the right. Move the cursor to the right in this column and select the inscription “Notepad” from the list; the inscription will be highlighted in blue. Click on this inscription.

A window will open, at the top of which there is the inscription “Untitled-Notepad”.

A large white field appeared in front of us - space for writing text. In the left top corner This field has a small vertical line blinking. This is our cursor, this is how it looks in a text editor, changing its appearance from an arrow to a vertical bar. Let's start typing text on the keyboard.

A capital letter is written by simultaneously pressing the Shift key with the left hand. Space between words is created by pressing the long, empty key at the bottom of the keyboard once. In order to, having written part of the text, continue it with new line, that is, start new paragraph, you must press the key Enter. To separate the next paragraph of text from the previous one empty line, you need to press the "Enter" key a second time. You can delete an unnecessary letter if it is to the left of the cursor by pressing the key Backspace, if it is to the right of the cursor - by pressing the key Del. Place the cursor at the desired location using the mouse.

Write at least one paragraph of any text. Don't worry if you have to search for each letter on the keyboard for a very long time; sometimes it seems that the letter you need is not there at all. I assure you that the keyboard has all the letters and all the punctuation marks. Try and experiment with the keys. Marks such as exclamation point, question mark, semicolon, quotation marks, number are located in the second row from the top of the keyboard and are written when simultaneously pressing a key with the left hand Shift.

After you have written some text, you need to save the written document on your computer. In general, you should try to save the document as early as possible. It is enough to write only one word or even not write a single word, immediately save the document, and then continue entering text from the keyboard.

Hover your cursor over the “file” inscription in the upper left corner of the screen; the inscription will be highlighted in blue. Click on the inscription and a list of suggested actions will open. Click on "Save As".

A window will open with “Folder: My Documents” written in the top white field. This folder has already been created on your computer. Below are a few more folders with different names, which are located inside the My Documents folder. Everything here is very simple, just like in ordinary life. There is a thick folder on your desktop with “My Documents” written on it. In this folder you put other folders with different names. But among the folders already there, there is not a single one with appropriate name, so that you can put there the text document you just wrote during the learning process. This means you need to take a new clean folder, sign it and put the document there. And then put this new folder, like all the others, in the thick shared “My Documents” folder.

We click on this icon, a folder with a winking blue highlight appears in the white field. That's what it's called" new folder". Such a name does not reflect its contents, so you need to give the folder a decent name, that is, change the existing name. Press the "Del" key on the right side of your keyboard, the name "New Folder" and the blue highlight will disappear, and ours will appear inside the name field vertical bar cursor.

Type the name of the folder from the keyboard capital letters(although it is not necessary with a capital) “Training”, do not put quotation marks. Press the "Enter" key. The folder has been created and named.

In order to put our text document in this folder, it must be opened. This is done on the computer double click on the folder, that is, hover over the “Training” folder and click twice in a row. The folder will move to top margin to the place where the "My Documents" folder used to be. This means that we have opened our folder. There are three lines at the bottom of the window. Top line called "File name" the line says "*.txt"

When we opened Notepad at the very beginning, we saw the inscription at the top Nameless-Notepad. This means that our document does not yet have a name. On a computer, every document (text, photograph, video, etc.) is called file. Each file needs to be given a name so that it can be found later. required file in the desired folder.

Since working with different types documents on a computer are produced using different programs, then after the file name they write special combinations letters so that the computer knows which program to open your file in to work. In our case, we have a text document, which is worked with in a text editor program - Notepad. For files in this program, you should write the symbols .txt after the file name, the dot at the beginning is required. The line "File name" offers us exactly these symbols. The asterisk before the dot is intended to replace it with the file name.

Place the cursor after the asterisk before the point, that is, move the mouse over this place and click. The cursor will start blinking in the desired location. If it is difficult to place the cursor exactly in the right place, you can place it, for example, at the end of the text and then move it to the left by pressing the left arrow key (bottom right on the keyboard). The right arrow key is used to move the cursor to the right.

Now you need to erase the asterisk, that is, press the Backspace key if the asterisk is to the left of the cursor, as you did when typing. After this, enter the name of our file, that is, a text document, for example, “First text”, do not put quotation marks.
As a result, the file name should look like this: First text.txt Do not put a space after the word “text”. Click the "Save" button.
In general, in the future, do not put spaces between words in file names; it is better to put a dash or underscore; with spaces, errors may occur when opening files in some programs.

The save document window will close and your text document will re-open. At the top, instead of “Unnamed” it will now be written “First text”.

So, the text is written, the document has a name (file name), it is located in the "Training" folder, which is located in shared folder"My Documents". Let's finish working with the document and close it. In the upper right corner, click the white cross on the red square. When you hover your cursor over it, a “Close” prompt appears.

Now let's try to supplement and correct the written text. To do this, you need to take it from the folder again. Open the text editor "Notepad" as you already did, starting with the "Start" button.
Click in order File, open.

In the window that opens, you will see the “Training” folder at the top, which means it is already open. Below it is your piece of paper with the title “First Text”. Click on the sheet, it will highlight in blue and its name will appear in the “File name” line. Next, click the “Open” button. The text you wrote earlier will open.

Now try adding a few more lines to this text. Delete the letter to the left of the cursor, to the right of the cursor, enter it again. Try removing the word. To do this, you need to double-click on it (it will highlight in blue) and press the "Del" key or at the top "Edit, Delete". When you click on the word "Edit", a list drops out, it contains the action "Delete", and next to it is the name of the key with which you can also perform this action. Now try to undo the deletion, that is, return the deleted word to its place. Click "Edit, Undo."

Now let's try to increase the font size so that the text is easier to see, and change the font type. Click "Edit, Select All". All text will be highlighted in blue. Next, click “Format, Font” at the top.

A window will open with the name “Font” at the top. The font type, style and size corresponding to our written text are highlighted in blue. All this can be changed.
There is a scroll bar in the "Size" column on the right. If you click on it and drag it down without releasing it, the font sizes will scroll. You can scroll through them one by one using the arrows on the scroll bar up or down.

Select the font size 18 and click on this number, it will turn blue. I left the outline as usual. And in the left column I chose a different font type “Times New Roman”, I like this one better. You can choose all the parameters as you like. Then click the "OK" button.

The procedure for recording printed text on a computer is called “Saving”. Thanks to her, we submit the document to Local disk, in Documents, on the Desktop and in other computer places.

Save to Word program - this is when, with the help of certain actions, we make a file from printed text (document), which can then be opened on a computer, recorded on a disk, on a flash drive, or sent over the Internet.

Let's say I need to print a lot of text. I definitely won’t be able to do it in one day. And so I typed a certain amount of text and decided to continue typing tomorrow. In order for this to be possible, I need my part finished document record, that is, save, on a computer. Having made a save, tomorrow I can open the printed text and continue working from where I left off.

How to save incorrectly

Many people do not save the document while working, but do it at the end. The fact is that when you try to close the Word program, having already typed something in it, a window pops up in which the computer “asks” whether to save the changes.

If you click on the “Yes” button, the computer will open a new window where you need to select a location for the document, give it a name and click the “Save” button.

By clicking on the “No” button, the computer will close the Word program along with the text, and you will no longer be able to open it. That is, the text will disappear forever. And if you click on the “Cancel” button, the computer will leave open program Word along with printed text. Thus, the program gives you the opportunity to correct something, change the text.

But it’s better to save it in another way. And not at the very end of working on the document, but from time to time. The fact is that there is a possibility of losing the document. For example, a power surge or a computer freeze. If this suddenly happens, your text may not be saved on the computer. This means you will lose it. By the way, this applies not only to Word, but also to any other computer program (Paint, Excel, Photoshop, etc.).

How to properly save a document (text)

If you work in Word modern version(2007-2010), then instead of “File” you will have a round button with a picture (colored squares) inside.

By clicking on this button, a window will open. In it we are interested in the “Save as...” item.

Click on it. A new window will open. In it, the computer prompts you to select a location to save.

pay attention to top part this window. The location where the computer is “going” to save the document is already indicated here.

In the example in the picture, the computer offers to save the text to the Documents folder. But it’s better to write it to some Local disk, for example, to D. To do this, in the window you need to select “Computer” (“My Computer”) on the left side.

After that, inside the window (in the white part of it) open the desired Local disk, that is, double-click on it with the left mouse button.

If you want to put a document in a folder, open it in the same window (click on it twice with the left mouse button).

After you have chosen the location where you want to save the document, you need to pay attention to the bottom of the window. Or rather, to the “File name” item. This part contains the name under which the document will be recorded in the computer. In the example in the picture, this name is “Doc1”. If it does not suit us, then we need to delete it and print a new, suitable name.

And now the final touch. In order to save the document, you need to click the “Save” button.

The window will disappear - and this will mean that the text has been written to the specified location.

Now you can close the program and try to find the saved document on your computer in the location where you saved it. There should be a file with the name you typed or the standard name “Doc1” (Document 1).

When you type text (compose a document), better time save it from time to time. They typed a paragraph or two and saved it. For this there is special button at the top of the program.

Clicking on it will overwrite the document. That is, the option you have already saved will be replaced by a new one.

The fact is that sometimes the computer can freeze. Or the power may unexpectedly go out. In such situations, there is a high probability that unsaved document will get lost.
