If you plan on sharing your files with a computer using MS-
DOS or an older version of Windows, the file name must be
limited to up to eight characters followed by a period and a
three-character extension. You may use all the letters and num-
bers on the keyboard plus the following characters: _, ^, $, ~, !,
#, %, &, {, }, (, ), @ and '. An MS-DOS file name must not
contain a space.
Most programs assign an extension that identifies the file as
being created in that program with a particular format. For
example, Microsoft Word saves files with a .DOC extension.
While you can create your own extension, this is usually
unwise. Using the default for your program is a helpful
reminder of where your file came from. Also the program is
unlikely to recognize a strange extension and may refuse to
handle your file correctly.
How to Print Something You've Created
By this time, you've probably created a document and saved it—
if not, save it now. Naturally, you want to see the results of your
work by printing your file.
Before you can print your work, you need to have:
❖
connected the printer to the computer (discussed in “Connect-
ing a Parallel Printer” on page 24)
❖
set up Windows 95 to work with the printer (discussed below)
You only need to perform the setup step the first time you connect
the printer. If you’ll be using more than one printer or changing
printers, you'll need to set up Windows 95 to run with the addi-
tional printer(s).
Setting Up Windows 95 to Work with Your Printer
When you turned your computer on for the first time, the
Windows 95 Setup program offered you the opportunity to define
a printer. Read this section if you didn’t have a printer at that time,
or want to set up a different printer.
