In this section, files are created in
Windows using WordPad or Notepad. Using WordPad, for example, a
document can be created by typing in the steps needed to wash a car.
The document can be saved in Rich Text Format (RTF) to the Desktop by
selecting Save or Save As from the File menu
 and giving the name "Car Wash Steps.doc".
Additionally, the file can be changed from the RTF format to the Word
for Windows format by clicking on the Save As option from the File
menu. Clicking on the Save As type:, click the down arrow,
click on the Word for Windows option, and click on the Save
button.
Now, Windows Explorer can be opened.
Move the Car Wash Steps.doc to the Projects folder using one of
the following methods. On the desktop, click and hold the mouse
button down while dragging the file over to the Projects folder.
It becomes semi-transparent until it disappears into the folder.
