Starting programs

When you open or move to a file, the correct program for this file is started automatically. You can also start programs by tapping on the appropriate “program icon” (the icon in the row of pictures at the side of the screen).

∙	Tap the System icon	at any time to move to the System
	screen.

∙Tap on Extras to display the “Extras bar”, which contains more program icons.

You don’t have to close one program before opening another, just tap on another program icon, and that program will open too.

You can see what files and programs are open from the System screen by using the List open files command from the File menu, or by tapping on the name in the top right corner of the screen.

Programs & files

When you run a program, it will usually display the currently open file, or the file that you last looked at. If you want to write a new letter, draw a new picture, create a new database and so on, you’ll need to create a new file for the particular program involved.

∙To create a new file: select the command on the File menu. The file will now be created, and the current file will be closed and saved at the same time. You can start entering your information.

∙You can also use this command in the System screen to create a new file. Usually, this creates a file using the standard settings; creating a file from within a program creates a file which already has any settings or preferences you have set up in the program.

∙It is a good idea to keep related files together in a folder, to make the files easier to find later. See ‘Files, folders & programs’ for details of how to manage your files and folders.

See the ‘Which program to use?’ section for more about using the programs.
