Computers are great for organising and storing information
but they can be daunting for new users. This booklet is intended to give the
local/family historian who is a novice computer user some practical ideas that
will help in storing and retrieving their information. It is not intended to be
a comprehensive manual but has some simple tips that anyone can use.
The examples given in the text are for Microsoft Word,
Excel and Works since these are the most common software programs that are
likely to be used by the relative newcomer to computers (my apologies to those
of you who are Apple users). A limited level of expertise is assumed in the text
– you will need to know how to do the following items as a starting point.
- Starting programs (such as Word) from the Start menu or from shortcut
icons on your desktop
- Creating folders and moving between folders and sub-folders
- Using Windows Explorer to navigate around your folders
