Opening Files with Applications Many applications are designed to open one or more types of files (or file formats). For example, Microsoft Word can create and edit Word documents. If you dont have the right kind of application, you wont be able to open a file. There are two main ways to open a file: Find the file on your computer, and double-click it. This will open the file using the default program. Open the application, then use the application to open the file. Once the application is open, you can go to the File menu at the top of the screen and select Open. This is useful because some files can be opened by several different applications, and this method allows you to choose which application to use. If youre not sure what a files format is, you can look at the extension at the end of the file name (for example .docx, .txt, or .jpg). On some computers, the extension may be hidden, and you may need to look at the icon to determine the file format.
