A document as referred to in previous posts is technically a word processor
document. The programs are similar regardless of what kind of computer you
have. Some of the common word programs are:
PC computers:
Microsoft Word
Word Pad
Note Pad
Mac computers:
Microsoft Word
Text Edit
You will need to see if you have one of these programs or something similar
on your computer. If you don't see any of these programs in your "Start"
menu and want to see which program you have you can search your program
files:
PC computers:
Click on "Start" menu at bottom left corner of computer screen
Click on "My Computer"
Click on your "C" drive
Click on "Program Files"
In this folder you will see other folders for the programs loaded onto
your computer. If you have a "Microsoft Office" folder, Click on it.
Click on the "Office" folder
Click on "Winword.exe" to open the Microsoft Word program.
Mac computers (depending upon how you set up your desktop):
Click on your hard drive icon
Click on the "Applications" folder
The applications loaded on your computer should be in this folder. If any
of the programs listed above are in this folder you can click on the
appropriate icon to start the program.
Once you have opened a word processing program:
Click on "File"
Click on "Save". Name the document what you want and tell it to save to
your desktop.
Now you are ready to rock. :-) At this point you can type in the
information that will be needed for your TOPSA photos or you can copy and
paste the information from your TOPSA entries already loaded.
To copy information:
highlight the information you want to copy then:
For PC computers, hold down the "Ctrl" key and press the "C" key
For Mac computers, hold down the "Command" key and press the "C" key
To paste information:
Place your cursor/arrow pointer where you want to paste your information
and click then:
For PC computers, hold down the "Ctrl" key and press the "V" key
For Mac computers, hold down the "Command" key and press the "V" key
The copied information should appear where you had placed your
cursor/arrow pointer
