Type gedit >> press Enter. Type gedit and press Enter.
Point to the new gedit window. A new gedit Text Editor window opens.

Point to the Display area The display area is where all activities such as typing, editing takes place.
Point to the Untitled Document1 You can see a tab named Untitled Document 1.

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

Type Welcome to Spoken Tutorial. In the text area, let us type Welcome to Spoken Tutorial.
Copy and paste the text from students.txt Below this, we will type some more text as shown here.
Point to the asterisk Now, in the tab , you can see an asterisk next to the name of the file.

This means that the file is not yet saved.

Point to the Status bar The bottom bar is the Status bar, which displays information about the current activity.

Click on File>> Save For this, click on the File option in the Menu bar and then on Save.

Click on the Save button.
