Learn about working with documents and folders in these lessons for the Mac.
Do you want to learn more about how to work with documents and folders on your Mac? Maybe I can help with these lessons. I start out by showing you how to select files and folders, work with the Save dialog box, and deleting and recovering files from the trash. Some people get confused on how copying works as opposed to moving a file, especially when it comes to copying or moving files to a second hard drive. I’ve got that covered too. I also look at searching your Mac, including searching within documents. If you want to learn how to open documents with multiple applications, I show you the different ways you can do that on the Mac, as well as using spring-loaded folders, compressing files and folders, viewing the metadata of files, and renaming files in batches. I wrap it up with a lesson on using tags with files and folders.
