Using the File Menu
Data file operations are all performed using the File Menu. To display the file
menu, click the button.
To create a new data file
• When you first start up the application, it
automatically creates an unnamed data file
with the extension “cwd”.
• You can also create a new data file at any
time by clicking New on the File Menu.
To open an existing data file
• Click Open on the File Menu, and then use the standard Windows file
selection dialog box that appears to select the file you want to open.
• In addition to its commands, the File Menu also shows the last four files you
had open. You can re-open any of the files shown by clicking its name in the
File Menu.
To save a data file
After inputting or editing data in one of the application’s data modes, you can
save it by clicking Save (to save the file using its existing name) or Save As
(to assign a new name to the file) on the File Menu. Save and Save As are
standard Windows commands. See your Windows documentation for details.
