Common Software Commands Introduction Software is developing a common language in the form of commands. Commands Commands are words recognized by the computer to access functions. Certain common commands appear in most software packages.    You may access commands by pulling down the menus of the software features. FILE  feature The  FILE  feature  offers  the  commands  of  NEW,  OPEN,  CLOSE,  SAVE, and PRINT. Clicking on a command either executes the command or offers a dialogue box. NEW:  Enter  the  NEW  command  when  you  start  a  new  file.  A  dialogue  box may appear to ask you to select a format for the new document. OPEN:  Access  an  existing  document  by  clicking  the  command  OPEN.  A dialogue box appears prompting you to select from a file of existing documents.    Once you select the document you want to open, click on the file name, and OK or double click the file name to open the file. CLOSE:  To  close  or  exit  a  file,  click  CLOSE.  A  prompt  appears  that should ask if you want to save the document.    Selecting the desired option automatically executes the function and closes the file. SAVE:  To  save  a  file,  click  SAVE.  The  computer  automatically  saves  the data to whatever drive you specify, hard drive or floppy disk and prompts you to name the file before saving it. To save data to disks or alternate hard drives in another format or to rename a file, click SAVE AS. . . and enter the letter designator of the disk or alternate drive. PRINT:  To  print  hard  copies  of  an  open  document,  click  PRINT.  A dialogue box appears asking if you want the entire document or a portion of the document, and how many copies you require. Common commands are not the only commands you will see offered the FILE pull-down menu but, other commands may be program specific. Familiarize yourself with the software in your computer.
