<section class="ocpIntroduction">
A template is simply a starting point. A Word (or any other
Office) template is something that you create once that can be used over
and over again. To create a template, you can start with a document you
already created, one you downloaded, or a brand new one that you decide
to customize in any number of ways.<br />
<ol type="1">
<li>
To save a document as a template, click <b class="ocpUI">File</b> > <b class="ocpUI">Save As</b>.<br />
</li>
<li>
Double-click <b class="ocpUI">Computer</b>.<br />

<section class="ocpIntroduction">
Find or create the right template, and you’ll be saved the work
of repeatedly recreating basic content and layout information. And,
because Office saves your changes to the new file and not to the
template, you can use that template for unlimited documents,
presentations, or spreadsheets.<br />
When you first start an Office app, like Word, Excel, PowerPoint,
Visio, or Access you automatically see a list of templates. To see the
list at any other time, click <b class="ocpUI">File</b> > <b class="ocpUI">New</b>. The following figure shows the Templates available for Word:<br />
<img alt="A list of available Word templates is shown." height="278" src="https://osiprodeusodcspstoa01.blob.core.windows.net/en-us/media/55ca0563-0954-4d35-b987-887a9dcbc807.png" title="A list of available Word templates is shown." width="400" />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="__goback"> </a>
Try more free templates from <a class="ocpExternalLink" href="http://templates.office.com/" target="_blank" title="templates.office.com">templates.office.com</a> right from within your Office app. Simply search for templates where you see <b class="ocpUI">Search for online templates</b>. For quick access to popular templates, click any of the keywords below the search box.<br />
<img alt="The search box for finding online Word templates is shown." height="74" src="https://osiprodeusodcspstoa01.blob.core.windows.net/en-us/media/6685bd07-8910-4125-8164-4dd37c2aa14a.png" title="The search box for finding online Word templates is shown." width="400" />
<br />
Once you find a template you like, double-click it to create your
file based on that template. To take a closer look, click the thumbnail
to see a large preview. Click the arrows on either side of the preview
window to see related templates.<br />
<img alt="Template preview" src="https://osiprodeusodcspstoa01.blob.core.windows.net/en-us/media/3bdf4a0e-d57e-4ac0-80b6-e6a7db600453.png" title="Template preview" />
<br />
If you frequently use a template, you can pin it so it’s always
there when you start your Office app. Just click the pushpin icon that
appears below the thumbnail in the list of templates.<br />
<img alt="Pin template" src="https://osiprodeusodcspstoa01.blob.core.windows.net/en-us/media/0bca9825-b908-49b5-8d40-a92735bec4d6.png" title="Pin template" />
<br />
Pinned templates will never show a preview. You just double click
the pinned template's thumbnail to quickly create a new file based on
that template.<br />

<section class="ocpIntroduction">
Microsoft Word 2013 is a word-processing program designed to help
you create professional-quality documents. Word helps you organize and
write your documents more efficiently.<br />
Your first step in creating a document in Word 2013 is to choose
whether to start from a blank document or to let a template do much of
the work for you. From then on, the basic steps in creating and sharing
documents are the same. Powerful editing and reviewing tools help you
work with others to make your document perfect.<br />
</section>
<section class="ocpSection">
<h2>
Choose a template</h2>
It’s often easier to create a new document using a template
instead of starting with a blank page. Word templates are ready to use
with themes and styles. All you need to do is add your content. <br />
Each time you start Word 2013, you can choose a template from the
gallery, click a category to see the templates it contains, or search
for more templates online. (If you’d rather not use a template, just
click the <b class="ocpUI">Blank document</b>.)<br />
<img alt="Word start screen" src="https://osiprodeusodcspstoa01.blob.core.windows.net/en-us/media/9767e455-f6fe-49c0-993a-1f974628c998.png" title="Word start screen" />
<br />
For a closer look at any template, just click it to open a large preview. <br />
<br />
<br />
</section>
<section class="ocpSection">
<h2>
Open a document</h2>
Every time you start Word, you’ll see a list of your most
recently used documents in the left column. If the document you’re
looking for isn’t there, click <b class="ocpUI">Open Other Documents</b>.<br />
<img alt="Open other documents" src="https://osiprodeusodcspstoa01.blob.core.windows.net/en-us/media/d2ed2471-2c50-40a2-bc63-580b16a070fc.png" title="Open other documents" />
<br />
If you’re already in Word, click <b class="ocpUI">File</b> > <b class="ocpUI">Open</b> and then browse to the file’s location.<br />
When you open a document that was created in earlier versions of
Word, you see Compatibility Mode in the title bar of the document
window. </section>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) have the page as 'Landscape' rather than 'Portrait', because then you can fit
a couple of flags on the page and you are viewing the images as they will
actually look as bunting. It just helps with the visualising and design process.
You can change the page orientation by going to 'Page Layout' and then
'Orientation'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mQ6zLuLxPj4/UZTTCYnKDnI/AAAAAAAAIHo/eyK5Z5BGWlY/s1600/makebuntingword2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="3" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mQ6zLuLxPj4/UZTTCYnKDnI/AAAAAAAAIHo/eyK5Z5BGWlY/s1600/makebuntingword2.jpg" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) The first step,
naturally, is to pick a shape by going to 'Insert' and then 'Shapes'. use the common triangle shape for the bunting (the triangle used comes under
'Flowchart: Merge' in Word 2007). Other shapes that I think would make pretty
bunting are hearts, the rectangle shape or something which Word calls
'Flowchart: Manual Operation' and 'Flowchart: Off Page Connector'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) right
click on the newly drawn shape to bring up the 'Format Autoshape' box and change
the measurements under the 'Size' tab. While you have this box up, you can also
go into the "Colors and Lines" tab and change the size, colour and style of the
shape's outline, (this can also be done under the 'Format menu which I'll come
onto in a second). Click OK once you are happy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bJ2HEgGKHHE/UZTcOlpDp8I/AAAAAAAAIII/jpn9qcwZO9Q/s1600/makebuntingword4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="5" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bJ2HEgGKHHE/UZTcOlpDp8I/AAAAAAAAIII/jpn9qcwZO9Q/s1600/makebuntingword4.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) Your next job is
to fill the shape with pretty colours or patterns. To do this, select 'Format'
from the menu bar and go to 'Shape Fill'. You can fill the shape with a solid
colour, a gradient colour, picture, texture or pattern. For the latter two,
there are a variety of textures and patterns which come with MS Word, but you
can also use your own which is what I've done in the image below.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ESsxRmk7nM4/UZThT-7tBTI/AAAAAAAAIIY/h5Fe30xTDqg/s1600/makebuntingword5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="6" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ESsxRmk7nM4/UZThT-7tBTI/AAAAAAAAIIY/h5Fe30xTDqg/s1600/makebuntingword5.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) To add your own
background to the bunting go to 'Shape Fill', then 'Texture' and then select
'More Textures'. This is where you can upload your own image by clicking on
'Other Texture' and locating the file your want on your computer. After this
step you have a range of other effects you can add to your bunting. Here are a
couple of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Add Clip Art</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="text-align: left;">If you
are talented with Photoshop then that's great! But fortunately for the rest of
us, Word comes with a lot of free clip art images. Here I have decided to add an
ice cream image to my bunting. This is how to add clip art in Microsoft
Word. </span> <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--nLsSZS1t5c/UZTjSqT2elI/AAAAAAAAIIo/Wpna_P2K46c/s1600/makebuntingword6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="7" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--nLsSZS1t5c/UZTjSqT2elI/AAAAAAAAIIo/Wpna_P2K46c/s1600/makebuntingword6.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Go to 'Insert' on
the menu bar and look for 'Clip Art'. Click on this to bring up a search box,
type in what you are looking for and then scroll through the images to find
something you like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-08vJatMggQg/UZTlZ53pvKI/AAAAAAAAIJA/JwCXfD9dIy8/s1600/makebuntingword7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="8" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-08vJatMggQg/UZTlZ53pvKI/AAAAAAAAIJA/JwCXfD9dIy8/s1600/makebuntingword7.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) You've
probably just found that your clip art is stuck behind your banner and is
resisting being moved around. Go to 'Format' on the menu bar, click on 'Text
Wrapping' and choose 'In Front of Text'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-591fZLKP-WY/UZTl86HY-6I/AAAAAAAAIJI/z-QsI5eRqBA/s1600/makebuntingword8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="9" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-591fZLKP-WY/UZTl86HY-6I/AAAAAAAAIJI/z-QsI5eRqBA/s1600/makebuntingword8.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) You will now be
able to re-size the clip art more easily and position it where you want
it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Add Letters or Text </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you are making
bunting for a celebration then a useful trick is adding numbers of letters, so
you can spell out messages (e.g, "Happy Birthday"), names, ages, etc. I find the
simplest way to do this is with the Word Art function.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uktiz7LBr-c/UZZJQXBx50I/AAAAAAAAIJY/qE_IOrNrh-0/s1600/makebuntingword9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="10" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uktiz7LBr-c/UZZJQXBx50I/AAAAAAAAIJY/qE_IOrNrh-0/s1600/makebuntingword9.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) Go to 'Insert' on
the menu bar and then look for 'Word Art'. Choose any style of word art - you'll
be changing that in a second, so it doesn't matter at this stage which one you
use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-njM5dZKxtos/UZZKJIQsfPI/AAAAAAAAIJo/5yFF8Lmz3kI/s1600/makebuntingword9a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="11" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-njM5dZKxtos/UZZKJIQsfPI/AAAAAAAAIJo/5yFF8Lmz3kI/s1600/makebuntingword9a.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Type in your
letter, number or word and pick your font. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IRGKsJ3lCms/UZZLEoNCTUI/AAAAAAAAIJ4/E6jKoNb9e5c/s1600/makebuntingword9b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="12" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-IRGKsJ3lCms/UZZLEoNCTUI/AAAAAAAAIJ4/E6jKoNb9e5c/s1600/makebuntingword9b.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) Your text will be
hiding behind your banner, so go to 'Format' and select 'In Front of Text' under
the 'Text Wrapping' function. At the moment it is still looking a bit
uninspiring, so let's jazz up the text a bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OlmbLf1CZEs/UZZL_AOa08I/AAAAAAAAIKA/1GjfokIjdEg/s1600/makebuntingword9c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="13" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OlmbLf1CZEs/UZZL_AOa08I/AAAAAAAAIKA/1GjfokIjdEg/s1600/makebuntingword9c.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) You can change the
appearance of your text under the 'Format' tab on the menu bar. It is actually
very similar to the steps you took when formatting your shape in the first part
of this tutorial. You can change the colour, pattern or texture under 'Shape
Fill' and use a different colour for the 'Shape Outline'. There is also the
'Change Shape' function, which will add effects to the text. I just clicked on
the straight line under 'Follow Path' because I didn't want any fancy
effects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5) Finally, click and
drag the little squares around the selected text to increase/decrease the size
until you are happy with it. You could also right click on the shape and change
the measurements under 'Format WordArt'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Layering Different Elements</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I'm going to run
through a quick example that combines everything you have just learned. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TwkmjRMCH6U/UZZPwv581LI/AAAAAAAAIKQ/cPemnv8MLzM/s1600/makebuntingword9d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="14" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TwkmjRMCH6U/UZZPwv581LI/AAAAAAAAIKQ/cPemnv8MLzM/s1600/makebuntingword9d.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1) You can layer
shapes on top of each other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7acKWVzs_jg/UZZRN5GEBuI/AAAAAAAAIKg/ljK-UbhnvOg/s1600/makebuntingword9e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="15" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7acKWVzs_jg/UZZRN5GEBuI/AAAAAAAAIKg/ljK-UbhnvOg/s1600/makebuntingword9e.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) Then add some text
on top of that...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XJ6jZcrDtXE/UZZTXOM9yEI/AAAAAAAAIKw/-r0HyUVty40/s1600/makebuntingword9f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="16" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XJ6jZcrDtXE/UZZTXOM9yEI/AAAAAAAAIKw/-r0HyUVty40/s1600/makebuntingword9f.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3) ... and to round
off this bunting flag I've added some clip art. If you find some clip art which
is perfect but it doesn't quite fit in with your colour scheme, you can
re-colour it. On the 'Format' menu find 'Recolor' and then scroll through your
options until you find a colour you like. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7eG5tQ8NVvY/UZZUao1ZPpI/AAAAAAAAILA/dZ4pcjoMfJ0/s1600/makebuntingword9g.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_uid_941073237="17" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7eG5tQ8NVvY/UZZUao1ZPpI/AAAAAAAAILA/dZ4pcjoMfJ0/s1600/makebuntingword9g.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4) The last thing I
recommend doing is grouping all the different elements together. This means that
you can move the bunting flag around the page as one object, rather than having
to re-position each element individually. To do this, click on each object while
holding down the 'alt' key. Once everything is selected, right click on your
bunting and select 'Grouping' followed by 'Group'. </div>

The desktop version of<strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> iTunes </strong>comes pre-installed on every Mac and is also available for Windows. You can use it to play media (including music, TV shows, movies, podcasts, and more), and also to download content from the <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iTunes Store</strong>. You can even sync the app across devices, so you can access your media library anytime.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most of what's available in the iTunes Store costs money, but you'll still find thousands of items that can be downloaded for free. iTunes is also pretty accommodating when it comes to certain types of paid content. For example, you can purchase a <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">single song</strong> instead of an entire album, or <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">rent a movie</strong> instead of buying it.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
iTunes is also compatible with <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">AirPlay</strong> and <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Apple TV</strong>, two products that, when used together, let you stream media from one device to another.

They give you new ways to experience media that you would normally watch or listen to on your other devices. For example, you can <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">stream music</strong> wirelessly from your iPad to AirPlay-enabled speakers.

It may help to think of these options as yet another pair of devices, in addition to the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and Mac. They're all designed to work together, so you can access to your media anytime.</div>

Sometimes it can be difficult to read webpages in the <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">mobile version</strong> of Safari. Luckily, there are two ways to zoom in and out—which technique you like best will depend on your personal preferences.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Some like to <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">double-tap</strong> to zoom in, which enlarges the page to about 150% every time (perfect for reading small text). Others like to use the <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">pinch</strong> gesture, which gives you more control over how large (or small) the page appears.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; float: none; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; margin: 33px 0px 0.5em 0.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

If you find an article or website that you'd like to read later, you can save it to your <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">reading list</strong>. Safari will actually download a copy of the site, so you can read it anytime, anywhere—even if you don't have access to the internet.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This feature works great if you have Safari synced via <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iCloud</strong>. For example, you could add a website to your reading list on your <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mac</strong>, then read it on your <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iPad</strong> while you're out running errands. You won't even have to use your device's cellular signal or Wi-Fi, because the feature makes the webpage available offline.</div>

For example, it's what makes instant messaging so efficient. All you have to do is open the <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Messages</strong> app, and if the person is saved to your contacts list, you can start chatting with them right way. The same goes for <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mail</strong>.

In short, even if you don't think you'll use the app itself very much, your device will use the <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">information it contains</strong>all the time. That's why it's important to understand what Contacts is—because it has so much potential to improve your experience with apps.</div>

If you purchased an <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iPhone</strong> at a retail store, the sales associate probably set up your device as a courtesy to you. If they didn't, you may need to go back and ask them to transfer the contents of your <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">SIM card</strong>. You can do this with an <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iPad</strong> too if you have one of the cellular models.</div>

There are also certain <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">mobile apps</strong> that allow you to sync or import your contacts from another service. For example, when you sign into <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mail</strong> for the first time, you should have the option of syncing the contacts that are stored in your email account. This will add them to the <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Contacts</strong> app.</div>

As a last resort, you may need to input some or all of your contacts manually—especially if your only Apple device is a <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mac</strong>. However, once this step is complete, your contacts will be much easier to sync/import in the future. You'll be able to sync the app to <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iCloud</strong>, so you can access your contacts on any other Apple device. This is especially useful if you upgrade to a newer Apple device in the future.</div>

It's important to note that the iPhone version of the app is a little different from the others. That's because it does double-duty—both as your <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iMessage client</strong>, and as your regular <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">text messaging client</strong>. In other words, it's the same app you'll use anytime you want to text someone, whether they have an Apple device, or different type of phone (for example, Android, Windows, or a basic cell phone).</div>

Once you've set up iCloud on all of your devices, you can begin using it. For example, take a few <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">photos</strong> on your iPhone, then exit the Camera app. As soon as your device is connected to Wi-Fi, your photos will be pushed to all your other devices. If you've enabled <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">automatic downloads</strong>, you can also begin purchasing music or TV shows, and they'll appear on your devices right away.</div>

They have full access to every setting on the computer. Every computer will have at least one Administrator account, and if you're the owner, you should already have a password to this account.</li>

As a Standard user, you can do just about anything you would need to do, such as running software or personalizing your desktop.</li>

You can create a Managed account for each child, and then go to the <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Parental Controls</strong> settings in your <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">System Preferences</strong> to set website restrictions, time limits, and more.

Generally, it's safer to be logged in to a Standard account instead of an Administrator account.

Therefore, you may want to create a Standard account for yourself, even if you're not sharing the computer with anyone.

When you view a folder on the Dock, you may notice that it looks a little bit different from a "normal" folder.

OS X Mountain Lion has two features that help you keep open files and apps organized: <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mission Control</strong> and <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">desktop spaces</strong>. Mission Control allows you to see everything that you currently have open, so you can easily access the files or apps that you need. Desktop spaces are <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">virtual desktops</strong> that you can use to organize your open files and apps. Instead of keeping everything open on the same desktop, you can <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">move some of your work to another desktop space</strong> to get it out of the way.</div>

Examples of Gestures</h4>

Some gestures will vary depending on whether you're using a trackpad or a Magic Mouse, and there are a few that only work with trackpads. Some apps may not support all gestures, but apps made by Apple (such as <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Safari</strong>) tend to use them more. Therefore, you may want to practice the following gestures with <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Safari</strong> before you try them with other apps.</p>

Did you know you can <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sync your computer </strong>with your other devices if you have an iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch?</div>

If you've never heard of syncing before, that's okay. It's designed specifically so you don't have to think about it once you set it up (or do anything special to maintain it). It just happens in the background.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Syncing is what links your Mac to your <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">other Apple devices</strong>—and your other devices to <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">each other</strong>—so you can access the same content anytime, anywhere. For instance, you could take a photo on your iPad, then view it instantly on your laptop. You could create a to-do list on your work computer, then keep up with it on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Are you starting to see how useful syncing can be? It's a big part of using OS X Mountain Lion if you have more than one Apple device, so it's important that you understand what it means (even if you're not sure how it works yet!). Some content syncs automatically once you set up the applications on your computer. Other types of content will need to be enabled in <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iCloud</strong>.</div>

It allows you to store your content "in the cloud" instead of on your computer (which can save you a ton of storage space). But some of its most popular features have to do with <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">syncing</strong>.</div>

Imagine being able to start something on your Mac, then pick it back up immediately on a different device. That's the benefit of syncing with iCloud. It aims to connect all your files, information, and other types of content, so you never lose access to the things you love. And it's not just for OS X Mountain Lion; it's for your other Apple devices too.</div>

At some point, you'll probably need to change some of the settings on your computer. OS X Lion makes this as easy as possible by putting almost all of the settings in one place: the <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">System Preferences</strong> window.

If multiple people are going to be using your computer, you'll need to decide whether<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">everyone will share an account</strong>, or whether <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">each person will have their own account</strong>. Having a separate account for each person has some advantages. For example, each person will have their <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">own desktop</strong> that they can personalize. In addition, parents will be able to set <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">parental controls</strong> for each child's account.</p>

They have full access to every setting on the computer. Every computer will have at least one Administrator account, and if you're the owner, you should already have a password to this account.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; line-height: 1.32em; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Standard:</strong> Standard accounts are the basic accounts you use for normal, everyday tasks. As a Standard user, you can do just about anything you would need to do, such as running software or personalizing your desktop.</li>

You can create a Managed account for each child, and then go to the <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Parental Controls</strong> settings in your <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">System Preferences</strong> to set website restrictions, time limits, and more.

Generally, it's safer to be logged in to a Standard account instead of an Administrator account. If you're logged in as an Administrator, it may actually make it easier for an <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">unauthorized user to make changes</strong> to your computer. Therefore, you may want to create a Standard account for yourself, even if you're not sharing the computer with anyone. You'll still be able to make <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Administrator-level changes</strong>; you'll just need to provide your <strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 16px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Administrator password</strong> when making the changes.</p>

When you view a folder on the Dock, you may notice that it looks a little bit different from a "normal" folder. That's because the Dock uses a feature called <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Stacks</strong>, which displays the folder contents as a <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Fan</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Grid</strong>, or <strong style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">List</strong>.

Launchpad displays all of the apps installed on your Mac. They are arranged into one or more "pages", and you can switch to a different page either by using the <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">arrow keys</strong>, by <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">clicking and dragging </strong>to the left or right, or by using a <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">swiping</strong> gesture (if you have a Magic Mouse or trackpad).</div>

For example, you may want to move all of your favorite apps to the first page so that you can open them more quickly.

Once you have OS X Lion up and running, you should spend some time getting comfortable with the interface. If you've never used OS X before, you'll need to learn about the basics such as the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Dock</strong>, the<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">menu bar</strong>, and how to open <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">files</strong> and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">apps</strong>. If you're familiar with earlier versions of OS X, you'll find that it's mostly very similar, but you now have additional options such as <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Launchpad</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">full-screen apps</strong>, and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">multi-touch gestures</strong>.</div>

Full-Screen Apps</h4>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Some apps in Lion have a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">full-screen mode</strong> that lets you just focus on one app, with no distractions. These apps have a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">double-arrow</strong> icon in the top-right corner. When you click the icon, the app will zoom to fill the entire screen, and everything else will be hidden. You can then press the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Escape (Esc)</strong> key to return to the normal view. Not all apps currently support this feature. However, it is used by many of the pre-installed apps such as <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iCal</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Safari</strong>, and<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iPhoto</strong>.</div>

Multi-Touch Gestures</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Lion allows you to use many different <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">multi-touch gestures</strong> with your mouse or trackpad. These include <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">pinches</strong>,<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">taps</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">double-taps</strong>, and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">swipes</strong>. Each gesture performs a specific task, and by learning different gestures you can increase your productivity.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In order to use multi-touch gestures, you will need the right equipment. If you have a laptop, the built-in trackpad can be used. For desktop computers, you can either use the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Magic Trackpad</strong> or the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Magic Mouse</strong>. One of these may have been included with your computer; if not, they can be purchased separately. Most mice are not touch-sensitive and cannot be used for multi-touch gestures.</div>

Examples of Gestures</h4>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Some gestures will vary depending on whether you're using a trackpad or a Magic Mouse, and there are a few that only work with trackpads. Some apps may not support all gestures, but apps made by Apple (such as <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Safari</strong>) tend to use them more. Therefore, you may want to practice the following gestures with <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Safari</strong> before you try them with other apps.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
By default, Lion uses <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">natural scrolling</strong>, which means that things move in the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">opposite direction</strong> from "traditional" scrolling. To understand this, let's compare traditional and natural scrolling.</div>
<ul class="diamondBullet" style="border: 0px; line-height: normal; list-style-image: url(http://assets.gcflearnfree.org/topics/marker.png); margin: 0px 0px 0px 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Your web browser's scroll bar moves down, but the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">content on the page moves up</strong>. This is the way that most computers handle scrolling.<div class="leftImage" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0pt 2.9em 1.3em 0.1em; outline: 0px; padding: 5px 0px 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 472px;">

If you've never used Lion before, natural scrolling may seem awkward at first. However, since it mimics the way that mobile devices work, it may not take long to get used to it. You can switch between natural and traditional scrolling in your <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">mouse settings</strong>, to see which one you prefer.</div>

Although Lion is new, other versions of <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mac OS X</strong> have been around for years. Previous versions include<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Snow Leopard</strong> (version 10.6), <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Leopard</strong> (10.5), <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Tiger</strong> (10.4) and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Panther</strong> (10.3). If you've used any of these versions of OS X, you'll probably find that Lion is easy to learn, as the basic functionality is very similar.</div>

OS X Lion introduced many changes and improvements, both small and large. Below are a few of the most important new features:</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; float: right; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Launchpad:</strong> Launchpad is designed to be an easier way to launch and manage your applications. When you open Launchpad, you will see icons for all of the applications on your computer. You can then <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">open</strong> or <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">rearrange </strong>them. If you've used an <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iPad</strong> or <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">iPhone</strong> before, you'll notice that Launchpad has a very similar look and feel.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mission Control:</strong> Mission Control allows you to view all of the documents and applications that are open, and it also allows you to switch between different <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">virtual desktops</strong>.If you are familiar with other versions of OS X, this may remind you of the<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Exposé</strong> and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Spaces </strong>features, and that's because those features have been combined to create Mission Control.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Full-Screen Apps:</strong> OS X Lion makes it easier to have a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">full-screen view</strong> of an app, by hiding the Dock, menu bar, and everything else. This is especially useful if you are using a laptop with a smaller screen. If you want to switch between different full-screen apps, you can use <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mission Control</strong>.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Auto Save:</strong> Although many programs already have an Auto Save feature, Lion has taken the idea a step further. Many programs in Lion <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">do not have a manual Save button</strong>, and instead<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">rely only on Auto Save</strong>. Lion also keeps track of all of the changes using a feature called <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Versions</strong>, which allows you to restore an earlier version of your document if you make a mistake.<div class="rightImage" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; float: right; margin: 20pt 0px 0.75em 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 320px;">

You will see a name and icon for each computer that has AirDrop, and you can share a file by dragging it onto the icon.</li>

Lion uses many different types of gestures, such as <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">pinches</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">taps</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">double-taps</strong>, and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">swipes</strong>, to create a smoother computing experience. However, they are optional, so you can still use traditional pointing and clicking if you prefer.</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Improved Accessibility:</strong> Lion adds improvements to the<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">VoiceOver</strong> app, which is used by blind and low-vision users to access apps in OS X. VoiceOver includes voices in 22 languages, as well as support for Braille displays.</li>

Whenever you want to perform a specific task with a computer, you'll use an <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">application</strong> (also known as an <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">app</strong>). There are many different types of apps, including <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">web browsers</strong>,<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">games</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">word processors</strong>, and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">more</strong>.

However, to get the most out of your Mac, you'll probably want to download some additional apps from the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mac App Store</strong>. The Mac App Store was introduced in <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Snow Leopard</strong>, and it allows you to choose from thousands of <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">free</strong> or<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">paid</strong> apps for your Mac.</div>

Whenever you create a file using Google Docs, that file will remain accessible to you any time you log in to Google Drive. However, there may be times when you want to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">download or </strong><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">print </strong>that file.</div>

In this lesson, you'll learn how to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">convert </strong>and<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> download </strong>files from Google Docs format. You'll also learn how to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">print </strong>Documents, Spreadsheets, and Presentations.</div>

Sometimes, you may find that you have a need to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">download a file</strong> from your Google Drive. You may want to attach it to an email or open it in another application that allows for more formatting options (like Microsoft Word or Excel). Any file stored in it's original format can be downloaded and used right away. But when downloading a file in Google Docs format, Google Drive will need to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">convert</strong> it, or change it, into a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">formatted file </strong>like DOC, PDF, RTF, etc.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You will need to select the format that is most useful to you and your needs for the file. In this example, we will show you how to convert a Google Document file into a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">PDF file</strong>.</div>

Converting a Google Document into an <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Adobe Acrobat Document</strong>, which is called a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">PDF file</strong>, can be especially useful when you no longer wish to make changes to it. A PDF file retains the document's <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">original</strong> <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">formatting</strong>, allowing someone else to view the file, but not make any changes. This might also be helpful when attaching a document to an email or posting it as downloadable link on a website.</div>

If you do not need to choose a specific file type for individual files, Google Drive makes it easy to download and convert several files at once. The files will then download to your computer as <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">zipped</strong>, or compressed, files. Here, we will convert multiple document files into PDF files.</div>

Printing <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google Presentations</strong> will require you to select the <strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">number of slides</strong> you would like to print on each page. You will also need to choose whether or not to leave room for the<strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> speaker's notes</strong>. Once you have made your selections, Google Drive will automatically download a PDF file to your computer for preview and printing.</div>

Google Drive makes <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sharing </strong>your files simple and easy. In addition, Google Docs allows multiple people to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">edit</strong> the same file, allowing for <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">real time collaboration</strong>. </div>

Sharing Files</h4>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Whenever you share a file from your Google Drive, you can let others <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">view </strong>and even <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">edit </strong>that same file. While you can share any file stored on your Google Drive, it's important to note that you can only use the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">collaboration</strong>features for files created with <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google Docs</strong>.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Let's look at the example of Olenna, an art teacher who uses her Google Drive to organize letters, lesson plans, and more. Olenna's files include:</div>
<ul style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; list-style-image: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Files she keeps private</strong>, like her spreadsheet with classroom expenses</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Files she lets others edit</strong>, like the lesson planning documents she creates with her co-teacher<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </strong></li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Files she shares publicly and doesn't let others edit</strong>, like the newsletters and announcements she shares with her students and their parents</li>
<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Files that others share with her</strong>, including ones she can edit, like her co-teacher's supply inventory, and ones she can't, like a schedule sent to her by the principal</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As you can tell, no single sharing setting would be right for all of Olenna's files. The settings you choose for each of your shared files will probably depend on why you're sharing it in the first place.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; float: none; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; margin: 33px 0px 0.5em 0.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Choosing Sharing Settings for a File</h4>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You can choose to either share your file with a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">limited</strong> group of people or a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">large </strong>one. When you share a file with a<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">limited group</strong> of people, your collaborators must <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sign in </strong>with a Google account to view or edit the file. However, when you share with a larger group, or make the file <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">public</strong>, your collaborators will not need a Google Account to access the file.</div>
<h4 style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; float: none; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.3em; margin: 33px 0px 0.5em 0.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Sharing With a Link</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You can easily share a file with a larger group of people by providing a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">stable link</strong> to any file in your Google Drive. A <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">stable link</strong> is like a private web address for any file you wish to share. This can be especially helpful for files that would be <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">too</strong> <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">large </strong>to send as an email attachment, like music or video files. You can also share a file by <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">posting</strong>the stable link to a public webpage. Anyone who clicks the link will be redirected to the file.</div>
<div class="attention" style="background-image: url(http://assets.gcflearnfree.org/topics/attn.png); background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border: 0px; height: auto; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 3px 0px 3px 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Use your best judgement when making any of your files public. Even if you only share the link to a file with a few people, that document could be found by <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">anyone </strong>online. You should <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">never </strong>make personal or sensitive information stored on your Google Drive publicly available.</div>

Whenever you <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">share </strong>a file in Google Docs format, you'll have the option to allow your co-editors to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">change </strong>and<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">edit </strong>that file. Google Docs offer several tools that enhance <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">collaboration </strong>by making it easier to communicate with your co-editors and to see which changes have been made and by whom.</div>

After you've been using Google Drive for a while, you might find yourself having a hard time keeping track of all your files. Fortunately, Google Drive offers a number of features to help you <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">manage</strong> and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">organize </strong>your files.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In this lesson, you will learn how to find files easily using the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">search</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">filter</strong>, and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sort</strong> tools. You'll also learn about <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">folders</strong>, which let you organize your files into groups. Finally, you'll learn about the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">file action buttons</strong>, which allow you to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">organize</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">preview</strong>, or <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">delete </strong>your files quickly.</div>

Sorting, Filtering, and Searching</h4>

Google Drive uses three main tools to help you locate your files: <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sorting</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">filtering</strong>, and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">searching</strong>.</div>

By default, your files are already sorted from newest to oldest. However, you can apply other sorts to put your docs in alphabetical order or order them from largest file size to smallest.<br /></li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul class="diamondBullet" style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; list-style-image: url(http://assets.gcflearnfree.org/topics/marker.png); margin: 0px 0px 0px 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><ul class="diamondBullet" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; list-style-image: url(http://assets.gcflearnfree.org/topics/marker.png); margin: 0px 0px 0px 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<li style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 1.32em; margin: 0px 0px 0.4em 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Searching</strong> lets you look for specific files using words contained within the file.</li>
</ul>
</ul>

Finding a File</h4>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
What makes these tools so powerful is that you can <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">combine</strong> them to find exactly what you're looking for. For example, say that Olenna, an art teacher, wants to open a file, but doesn't remember the title. She knows it's a<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">document</strong>, so she can apply a filter that narrows her list down to only documents. She also knows that someone else created the file and shared it with her, so she applies the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Shared with me</strong> filter, too.</div>
<div class="leftImage" style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0pt 2.9em 1.3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 543px;">

The file is a worksheet, so she types "worksheet" into the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">search bar</strong>. This narrows down her list further, so the only files displayed are <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">documents</strong> that <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">were shared with her</strong> that contain the word "worksheet."</div>

She still doesn't spot the file she's looking for. Olenna knows she opened and edited the file fairly recently, so she changes the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sort </strong>to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Last modified</strong>.</div>

With the sort applied, Olenna finds the files near the top of her files list. You won't usually have to go through as many steps as Olenna did to find what you're looking for. However, if you do have trouble finding a file, these features can help.</div>

Creating Docs with Templates</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">template</strong> is a pre-designed doc that you can use to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">create docs quickly</strong> without having to think about<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">formatting</strong>. With a template, many of the big design decisions like margin size, font style and size, and spacing are predetermined.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Most templates are designed to help users create specific kinds of docs. For instance, you might use a template to create a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">resume</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">newsletter</strong>, or some other type of doc that you wish to look a certain way.</div>
<ol style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="leftImage" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0pt 2.9em 1.3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 450px;">

While there is a wide selection of templates you can use in Google Docs, few of them are well made, and they aren't very well organized within the template selector. For this reason, we recommend that you start by using templates made by Google, which tend to be of higher quality than user-submitted templates.</div>

Once you upload a file, no matter what type of file it is, you'll be able to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">manage</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">organize</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">share</strong>, and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">access</strong> it from anywhere. And because the files on Google Drive are <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">synced </strong>across your devices, you'll always see the most recent version of a file.</div>

You can also <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">preview </strong>many different file types, even if you don't have the software required for that file on your computer. For example, you can use Google Drive to preview a Photoshop file, even if Photoshop is not installed on your current computer.</div>

Converting Files to Google Docs Format</h4>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you are uploading files that you plan to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">edit </strong>online, you will need to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">convert </strong>them to Google Docs format. Converting allows you to edit a file and to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">collaborate</strong> with others easily. Only certain file types, like MS Office files and PDF documents can be converted to Google Docs format.</div>
<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Unfortunately, this conversion <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">isn't always perfect</strong>. Depending on the level of formatting used in the original document, the converted Google Doc could turn out looking quite different, as shown in the example below.</div>
<div class="leftImage" style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin: 0pt 2.9em 1.3em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; width: 690px;">

Conversion changes aren't always just cosmetic—you may even <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">lose information</strong> from the original file. You should always review a file that's been converted before sharing it with others. Remember that you always have the option to store your files in their <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">original file format</strong> if you'd prefer not to edit files online.</div>

If you plan to use Google Drive primarily as <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">cloud-based storage</strong> for keeping your files online, it's easy to move<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">files </strong>and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">folders </strong>from your computer to your Google Drive. Google Drive acts like another folder on your computer. Whenever you move a file to the Google Drive <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">folder</strong>, that file is moved online and is no longer stored locally on your computer, allowing you to access the same version of that file from any computer connected to the internet.</div>

If you would like to keep a version of the file on both your computer and your Google Drive, you can <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">create a copy </strong>to store online. Keep in mind, however, that creating multiple versions of a file will not allow you to take advantage of Google Drive's powerful <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">syncing </strong>features.</div>

<div style="background-color: #ecf0f2; border: 0px; color: #464646; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The web uploader also allows you to choose your <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">conversion settings</strong>, which makes it easy to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">convert</strong> certain file types to Google Docs format for later editing.</div>

Using Google Cloud Connect</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you have the Microsoft Office suite installed on your computer, you can set up <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office</strong>. When using Cloud Connect, any new files you create in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint are<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">automatically uploaded</strong> to your Google Drive and saved to your hard drive. In addition to uploading your files, Cloud Connect <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">syncs</strong> your files, which means that when you edit a document in Microsoft Office, those changes will be reflected in both the Drive and Office versions.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
To use Google Cloud Connect, you must install an add-on that will appear as an extra toolbar in your Microsoft Office programs. To download this add-on, you must have either <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Windows</strong> <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">XP</strong>,<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </strong><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Windows</strong> <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Vista</strong>, or <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Windows 7</strong>, and either the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2003</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2007</strong>, or <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2010</strong> version of Microsoft Office.</div>

Please note that Cloud Connect doesn't always work exactly the way it's supposed to. You should double-check your Drive and Office files to make sure that the uploading and syncing is working properly.</div>

In order to use Google Drive, you will need a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google Account</strong>. Google Accounts are free, and signing up for one is fairly simple. During the process you will also receive a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Gmail</strong> (Google Mail) address and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google+ </strong>profile. Once you've created your account, you'll be able to use your Gmail address to access not only <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google Drive</strong>, but other Google services like <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Calendar</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">YouTube, Reader,</strong> and more.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In this lesson, you'll learn how to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">create a new Google Account </strong>and how to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">install and access Google Drive</strong>. In addition, you'll also become familiar with the Google Drive <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">interface</strong>.</div>

Creating an Account</h3>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.33em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In order to create a Google account, you'll need to enter some information, like your <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">name</strong>, <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">birthdate</strong>, and<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">location</strong>. Creating a Google account will automatically create a <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Gmail </strong>(Google Mail) email address and a<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google+ profile</strong>, as well. Using <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Gmail</strong>, Google's free email service,or <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google+</strong>, Google's social network, is completely optional, so don't feel obligated to use these services.</div>

If you have a Gmail address, you <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">already have a Google Account</strong>, so you won't need to create an account—you can simply sign in to Google using your Gmail information.</div>

Getting started with Google Drive is a two-step process. First, you'll need to visit the website for the first time, in order to enable your account. Then you'll download the software you need to use Google Drive on your desktop.</div>

<strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Google Drive</strong> is actually a small piece of software that you'll need to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">download </strong>and <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">install </strong>to your computer. After the program is installed, you'll be able to <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">upload </strong>files from your computer to Google Drive and access them anywhere you go.</div>

In this example, we will install Google Drive for <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Windows</strong>. Google Drive is also available for <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Mac</strong>, but keep in mind that the Mac installation process will be a little different.</div>
