Overview: More Filing
In this topic you’ll learn three unrelated skills useful in a variety of circumstances as
you work with your Lisa:
 |  |  | Duplicate an icon.
|
|  |  | Make a stationery pad out of a document.
|
|  |  | Discard a folder or document by placing it in the Wastebasket. Retrieve from the Wastebasket.
|
|  |
|
|
You can duplicate a closed document or a closed folder and its contents to create a copy
as a “backup” or for cross-filing.
Do this to duplicate the Monthly Reports folder:
- Select the Monthly Reports icon.
- Choose Duplicate from the File/Print menu.
- Move the blinking copy onto the desktop to complete the duplication.

It’s often confusing to have icons with identical names. To avoid confusion, you can modify
the duplicate’s name.
Do this to insert “Dup” after the duplicate’s name:
- Select the duplicate’s icon – it’s on the desktop.
- Place the arrow-pointer after “s” of the icon’s name. Move the mouse gently to the
left until the I-pointer appears. Click to select an insertion point.
- Type a space, then type this: Dup
Now file Monthly Reports Dup in the Personal folder:
- Move the Monthly Reports Dup icon over the Personal icon. When the Personal icon
highlights, release.

Follow these steps to prepare the desktop for the next exercise:
- Put away the Reports folder window. (Notice the tiny picture of a folder in the title
bar? It shows that Reports is a folder.)
- Open the folder Personal and verify that the Monthly Reports Dup folder is really
there. You’ll also see your document My Memo, which will be used next.

You can create your own stationery pad from any closed document, and just tear off a copy
when you want to use your personalized paper. Stationery pads give you an endless
supply of copies you can work with.
The My Memo document contains a memo form with your name. Do this to turn My Memo into
a personalized pad of memos:
- Select the My Memo icon.
- Choose Make Stationery Pad from the File/Print menu. Notice that My Memo now looks
like a pad of paper.
- Type My Pad to rename it. (You can type to rename an icon whenever its picture
and title are highlighted.)

Now the Wastebasket is beside the Clipboard. Except when you’re using LisaGuide, the Wastebasket
and Clipboard are always on the desktop.
Do this to discard the Personal folder:
- Close the Personal folder window: Use either Set Aside or Save & Put Away, whichever
you prefer. (You can discard only an icon, not a window.)
- Move the Personal folder icon over the Wastebasket icon. Release when the Wastebasket
icon highlights.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can always retrieve the last thing you’ve discarded: Just open the Wastebasket and
move the discarded item out.
Do this to retrieve the Personal folder from the Wastebasket:
- Open the Wastebasket. (Select the Wastebasket icon then choose Open from the File/Print
menu.)
- Move the Personal folder out of the Wastebasket and onto the desktop.
- Set aside the Wastebasket window.
