File Management


File management includes moving, copying, deleting, and renaming the files
you've created. See  at the end of this lesson for File Shortcut Menu
Commands. Although it's a little easier to work with and organize your files
using Windows Explorer or My Computer, you can also perform a surprising
number
of file management chores right from inside Microsoft Word 2003-especially
with its new and improved Open and Save dialog boxes.


Step 1. Click the Open button on the Standard toolbar or, press keys,
"control + O"    The Open dialog box appears.

it to perform several file management functions. 
There are two different ways to access file management commands from inside
the Open or Save As dialog boxes:

Step 2. There is a "files and folders listbox" which using keys, "Shift +
tab" for keyboard users will jump you into.

Magnification users, you can Select a file and then select the command you
want from the dialog box's Tools menu by right clicking on the file you have
selected.

Screen reader users, after you have arrowed around in this files and folders
list and you have selected your file, press the "application key" to
activate some commands you can choose from.

They might look something like the following;
Commands available after clicking or pressing the application key.

want from the shortcut menu.

test file and nothing important then Right-click the Rename option in the
context menu you opened using the previous steps.

down to "rename" and press enter key.

files and folders within your "my documents folder".

folder" in here then arrow down to it and press the "enter key".

Step 4. Now arrow to the file that you  wish to delete, it can be any file
of your choosing. If you don't have a file you wish to delete then just make
up a file and save it then close word and reopen it up again. Now repeat the
steps above.

Step 5.Right Click with the mouse  or press the "application key" third key
out from right side of the spacebar and arrow down to the "delete option".
