New
New is the command to create a new file. Select New from the FILE menu
icon and it will ask whether you want to save the current file. If you type “Y”,
it will save the file. If you type “N”, It will create a new file.
Open
Open is the command used to retrieve an existing file. Select Open from the
FILE menu and it will list out all the files. Select the file you want to retrieve
and press the Enter key or the left mouse button. The selected file will then
appear on the screen.
Save
Saving a file is a very important option in Word Processor because if you forget
to save the file, you will not have the ability to retrieve the file and continue to
work on it.
In order to save a file, select Save from the FILE menu and it will show a save
box. The unit will prompt you with the file name. You need to type in a name
and then press the Enter key to save the file or revise the name before pressing
the Enter key to confirm. Please note that the file name should be no longer
than 8 characters.
Save as
You can save the document under a different name.
Delete
When you no longer need a file, erasing it is a good idea. Select Delete from
the FILE menu and it will show a delete box. Then select the cartridge icon
to delete a file from the RAM cartridge or the main unit icon to delete a file
from the main unit. After you select the source, it will list all the files. Select
the file you want to delete and press the Enter key or the left mouse button
to confirm. A message will ask you for confirmation. ALERT! When files are
deleted, they will be gone permanently.
Print
In order to use the print feature, you must connect the unit to one of the printers
which works with the VTECH
®
Power Zone™ 2000 learning aid. Please see
the list of compatible printers listed in the Printer Setup window. It is wise to
save your file before printing. Select Print from the FILE menu and it will print
the file.
Print Preview
Word Processor provides a way to view documents on the screen. Print Preview
allows you to see how a document will look on a printed page.
