Renaming, Duplicating or Deleting a File or Folder The name that you give a folder or file is not necessarily permanent. You can change it at any time using the Rename button. You can make copies (exact in all but name) of both files and folders. For example, you may want to duplicate a document file before making extensive changes to it, in order to have a backup copy of the original. There are times when you need to make room on your diskettes by deleting files or folders you no longer need. If you have selected several items, you get a separate dialog box for each item. Click Next to leave the name of the current item unchanged and go on to the next. Click Cancel to close the dialog box without renaming the remaining selected files. "To rename an item: 1. Select the item (or items) you want to rename. 2. Choose Rename from the File menu. A dialog box appears. 3. Enter the new name in the box. 4. Click on Rename to apply the new name. If a file with the same name already exists, a dialog box asks you to type a different name. "To duplicate an item: 1. Select the item (or items) you want to rename. 2. Choose Duplicate from the File menu. A dialog box appears. When you duplicate many items, you are given a chance to change the name of each copy. Clicking on Next skips the current item altogether.

If you do not, the copy will be named Copy of (file or folder name)." 4. Click on Duplicate. A duplicate copy of the selected item (or items) appears in the same folder as the original. 5. If you are duplicating more than one item, the name of the next item appears in the dialog box and the whole process repeats. "To delete an item: 1. Select the item (or items) you want to delete. 2.
