When TextEdit appears (it opens in about two seconds, which is one reason I love TextEdit), it opens a brand new blank document, ready for you to start typing (that's what that blinking thin black line is telling youit's ready for you to start typing). For the sake of our example, we (and by we, I mean you) are going to create a simple business letter using TextEdit, so start typing the standard ol' "Dear Customer," salutation, then press the Return key on your keyboard three times (to move down a few lines). Type some friendly text (if you can't think of what to write, try this: "Thank you so much for purchasing our product. We really think you're going to love using it just as much as we did making it."). Press the Return key three more times and type "Sincerely," then press Return two more times and type your name. Press Return just once, and then type your title (which is "Vice President of Customer Relations" by the waycongratulations on having such a cool job). Okay, that's it. You've created your first document. |
