Learning the Basics Printing your work 91 Using a file extension Most programs assign an extension to the file name that identifies the file as being created in the program with a particular format. For example, Microsoft® Word saves files with a .doc extension. Any file name with an extension of ".doc" is assumed to be a Microsoft Word file. Creating your own extension is usually unwise, since the program is unlikely to recognize an unusual extension and may refuse to handle your file correctly. TECHNICAL NOTE: By default, the Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 operating system does not show file extensions. For information on showing or hiding file extensions, see your Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 online help. Printing your work Verify that the Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 operating system is set up for your printer as described in "Connecting a local printer" on page 67. TECHNICAL NOTE: You only need to set up the printer the first time you connect it. If you use more than one printer or are changing printers, you need to set up the operating system to run with the additional printer(s). To print a file: 1 If your printer is not on, turn it on now. 2 Open the File menu of your Windows® program and click Print.
