Print two copies of a note

Step by step

1. Click the Start button! Look at the bottom of this practice computer: the dark strip there is its taskbar. In the middle of it, click the Start button (four blue squares). The main menu opens just above it. If you see two taskbars, use the one inside this page.
2. Click "Notepad". In the menu that opened, click the "Notepad" tile (a square with a small picture and its name under it): the app opens in its own window.
3. Write a short note. Click in the white page and type a few words, for example a shopping list.
4. Open the "File" menu. At the top left of Notepad, click "File".
5. Click "Print…". In the menu, click "Print…" with the normal (left) mouse button. The menu closes by itself afterwards.
6. Ask for 2 copies. In the "Copies" box, replace 1 with 2 (or click the little up arrow).
7. Click "Print". Click the blue "Print" button. This is a practice printer: the pages "come out" in a notification at the bottom right.
8. Close this window. You are done with this window, so close it: click the ✕ button at the top right corner of the "Notepad" window (on its title bar, the strip at the top). The window disappears.

These steps are written for SafePC, a pretend Windows-style computer in your web browser. On your own computer, the buttons and menus may look a little different, but the idea is the same.
