Introduction to Files

In our introductions, we defined a document as what you create in an application. In a word processor, the characters you type constitute a document. For a graphics application, the drawings you perform or the picture you manipulate is called a document. In order to keep such a document for later use, you must store it somewhere.
A file is an object used to hold a document. Put it another way, in order to have a file, you must save a document. We have mentioned how to save a document. Like a folder, you must name a file when saving a document. The name of a file follows the same rules we defined for a folder.
