Introduction
Welcome to the team! As you begin your journey with us, it's important to familiarize yourself with the basic functions of your computer. This memo will guide you through the steps to start your computer and open a word-processing document.


Instructions

  1. Starting Your Computer:

    • Locate the power button on your computer. It is usually found on the front or side of the computer tower or laptop.
    • Press the power button once. You should see the computer start up, indicated by lights turning on and a boot screen appearing.
    • Wait for your operating system to load completely. This may take a minute or two.
    • Once your desktop is visible, you can proceed to the next step.
  2. Opening a Word-Processing Document:

    • Look for the "Start" menu located at the bottom-left corner of your screen. (On Mac computers, use the Finder located at the bottom of the screen.)
    • Click on the "Start" menu and navigate to the "Programs" or "Applications" section.
    • Locate the word-processing application. Common options include Microsoft Word, Google Docs (if you have internet access), or LibreOffice Writer.
    • Click on the application name to open it.
    • Once the application is open, select "New Document" from the File menu to create a new word-processing document. (In Google Docs, click on the “Blank” template.)
