Opening files, folders & programs

∙To open a file or folder from the System screen: tap it twice, or highlight it and press Enter. Files that are currently open have their names displayed in bold on the System screen. Opening a file automatically saves and closes any other file that is currently open in the associated program.

∙To open two or more files of the same type at the same time: hold down the Fn key while opening the second file from the System screen. Then tap the program icon to cycle through the open files.

∙To move to a program: tap the relevant Program icon; tap the Extras icon to display more program icons. If the program is file-based, e.g. Data or Word, the program displays the last file you were looking at. You can start a new file using the New file Toolbar button or the command on the File menu (see ‘Creating new files’ later for more details).

Note: If the last file you were looking at has been deleted, moved or renamed, the program automatically looks for a file with a standard filename (e.g. Word, Data, Agenda and so on) in the standard folder, and opens this file instead. It will create a new file if necessary.

Note: Tap on the Extras icon to display additional icons for programs installed on your netBook. If there are more programs than will fit on the screen, tap the More button.

How can I see which files and programs are open?

Select the List open files command from the File menu, or hold down the Ctrl key and tap the System icon. To move to a file or program in the list, highlight it and press the Go to file button.

Closing programs/files

∙To close the current folder: tap on the Close folder icon at the top of the screen, or highlight it and press Enter. When you close all folders in the System screen, you move to the highest level of the disk, called the “root” of the disk.

∙To close a file: use the Close command on the File menu, either in the program in which the file is open, or in the System screen. Any changes you have made to the file are automatically saved.

∙To Close a document without saving your changes, you need to select Revert from Saved from the program’s File menu, before exiting in the normal way. Some applications, like Agenda and Data, always save your entries as you enter them, so do not provide this facility.

You can also close files or programs by holding down Ctrl and tapping the System icon, then using the Close file button in the list of open files and programs.
