As on a PC, files and folders can be displayed as large icons or in a list,
depending on your preference. Macs can also display a series of folders and
subfolders in one window using columns, which I find to be the easiest way to
locate what I need. Click on the “columns” button.
The “actions” button offers some common operations performed in file folders,
such as “New Folder” and “Get Info.” Highlight an item in the window, click on
the action button, then “Get Info” to see a file or folder’s properties.
Now, let’s search for a program in Finder. Make sure you’ve clicked on the
Applications folder on the far left; a list of the programs installed on the computer
should appear to its right. Some applications may be buried in one or two layers
of folders, such as Microsoft Word. To locate it, I’ve scrolled through the list and
clicked once on “Microsoft Office X,” a folder. (I can tell that this is a folder
because of the small grey arrow beside it.) This will open a list of this subfolder’s
contents to the right. Here we can see Excel, PowerPoint, and Word among
other Office applications and folders.
