Finding Files

Introduction

Once documents have been saved to your hard drive, they have a nasty habit of getting lost. Especially, if you don't have a folder set aside for each type of document (word processor, spreadsheet, database, etc.), it's easy to forget into which folder the document was originally saved.

Luckily, Windows 98 includes a powerful search program that can ferret out even the most well hidden files.

1. Click Start

2. Click Find

In this example, you will search for all files that have the word "write" in their name.

3.Click Files or Folders

In the Named dialog box:

4. Type WRITE

Windows' interface is often referred to as WYSIWYG, What You See Is What You Get. This means that if a character appears on the screen in a small type size, it will print in a small size. If the type size is large, the printed size will be large. Also, line drawings, colors, and shadings appear on the screen as they will on paper.

In this learning guide, you will practice the major features of Windows 98. This guide was written by a team of professional computer instructors who have many years of experience teaching and explaining technical subjects, such as the previous versions of Windows.
