Opening an Application & Creating a Document
After double-clicking on the application or document icon, an untitled document window appears on the screen.

Notice the blinking I-beam in the left corner of the blank window. An I-beam, also known as an insertion point, is a pointer used for entering and editing text.

If you don't see the I-beam, then click anywhere in the blank area. An I-beam will appear, and then you can begin typing.
