| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Alternately, you can open''' gedit Text editor''' using the '''Terminal'''.

Copy and paste the text from students.txt

<div style="color:#000000;"></div>

Point to the asterisk
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | You can see a '''tab''' named''' Untitled Document 1.'''

This is the default name given by '''gedit Text editor '''to the newly opened document.

In the text area, let us type''' Welcome to Spoken Tutorial.'''

Below this, we will type some more text as shown here.

Now, in the '''tab''', you can see asterisk next to the name of the file. 

This means that the file is not yet saved.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Point to the status bar
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | The bottom bar is the '''status bar''' which displays information about the current activity.

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | We will learn about the other two later on.

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Now let us see how to '''save''' the file.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Click on File>> Save

<div style="color:#000000;"></div>

<div style="color:#000000;"></div>

Click on the S'''ave''' button.

Notice that the saved filename is now displayed in the tab. 

Also, notice that the asterisk has disappeared.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Now let us close this file. Click''' File''' in the '''Menu bar '''and select''' Close'''.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | We can insert new files into the window by clicking''' File''' and''' New.'''

Alternately, you can click the icon in the '''toolbar''' with plus sign.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |

Hari hariprasath@gmail.com

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | It is a good practice to save the file frequently.

This avoids loss of data if there is a power cut or system crash.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Slide 8:

Auto save

| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | '''Auto save''' option can be used to save a file automatically, in a specified time interval.

|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Let us see how to use the '''auto save '''option.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Click''' Edit''' in the M'''enu bar'''. Then click''' Preferences'''.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | '''Gedit Preferences''' dialog box appears. Click the''' Editor''' tab at the top of the window.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Under the '''File Saving '''option, check the '''Autosave''' files checkbox.

And in the '''minutes''' box, enter 2.

Click on '''Close'''.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Now our files will get auto saved after every 2 minutes.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | You can continue with your typing as it saves automatically.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Otherwise, you can click on the icon in the '''tool bar''' with down arrow to save the changes.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Lastly, to exit the '''gedit Text Editor''' window, click on''' File''' and''' Quit'''.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;color:#000000;" |
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarise.
|-
| style="border:1pt solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;" | Slide 9:
