As some of you may or not know I'm working on building a business as a bridal consultant and am doing an online course involving it. Today I did part of my first Independent Projects, which just required me to interview caterers. I had an evaluation sheet to use that I did fill out. I want to type up my own and type in my information collected for a cleaner copy.

My computer question is this. I know I can save them as word files since that's where I intend to do the files. But I would like to make "folders" to keep caterer information, photographer information etc. I don't know how to set up those folders or if I can with my system. If anyone can help guide me through that process I'd appreciate it.

TIA
 
Are you wanting to save them on you computer, a flash drive or email?
 
If you're on a PC - To make folders you just have to right click anywhere in the window, go down to "new" and then click "new folder". You can then name it whatever you want. You can also make folders within folders. It works the same if you're trying to do it on a flash drive once you open the flash drive window.

Thanks I did figure it out after all but I appreciate the responses. Thanks again.
 
Hi there! First of all, congratulations on working towards building your business as a bridal consultant. It's great to hear that you're already making progress with your Independent Projects. As for your computer question, I would be happy to help guide you through the process of setting up folders on your system. To create a new folder on a Windows computer, simply right-click on your desktop or in the location where you want the folder to be and select "New" followed by "Folder." You can then name the folder and drag and drop any relevant files or documents into it. If you're using a Mac, you can create a new folder by going to "File" and selecting "New Folder" or by using the shortcut Command + Shift + N. Another option is to use a cloud storage service, such as Google Drive or Dropbox, to organize your files and documents. These services allow you to create folders and subfolders to keep your information organized and easily accessible from any device. I hope this helps and that you're able to successfully set up your folders. Best of luck with your business!
