Programs+-+Open+&+Close

If you have read 'The Three Buttons' page, you will know that the red button in a program doesn't necessarily close the program.

We will open a program (Microsoft Word) and see how to close it properly.


 * 1) Go to the DOCK and click on Word (big 'W') - it bounces up and down to show it is starting up.
 * 2) type some words - save it (see also, Saving Docs)
 * 3) Now, we want to close the program.
 * 4) Each application/ program you open has the name of it at the top left. Go to that menu and you will see QUIT that program as the last option. Inthis example, you can see that WORD is the application I am using and so that is the name at the top left.
 * 5) [[image:Picture_1.png]]
 * 6) Here you will see that I need to choose this option - the program will shut down properly (note the shortcut is COMMAND + Q - that is, hold down command and touch the Q button)
