1.  How do you properly shut down the computer?

Explanation

To properly shut down the computer, you should click on the Start button, which is typically located in the bottom left corner of the screen, and then select the Shut Down option from the menu that appears. This will initiate the proper shutdown process, allowing the computer to close all running programs and processes before turning off. Pressing the large button on the tower or using the Ctrl + Alt + Delete shortcut may not safely shut down the computer and could potentially result in data loss or system damage.

"Save as" is used for the first time you create a document. This option allows you to save the document with a new name or in a different file format, while keeping the original document intact.

To center something, you should use the center button. This button is specifically designed to align text or objects in the center of a document or page.
