how do I create a folder in documents

Hi El Vergatario. I had the same question but I do not have an option to create a new folder. I tried to do this before creating a document but I also have a docs that are already created that I want to organize.

Thanks

To create a new folder in the Documents folder you can either go to File at the top of the screen, click on it and then select New Folder, or you can use a short cut which is shift+cmd+N and this will produce a new folder.

I'm a brand new Apple user! I see how to create folders but they all go to my Desktop which I obviously don't want - I'll have hundreds of them (I'm a Microsoft convert) - there has to be a way they stay hidden but can't figure out how. Can anyone help?

You basically need to go to the folder you want to create the new folder and just follow what El Vergatario explained. Assuming you're not familiar with Mac Interface, the perfect place to enter to any of your computer's location is by clicking the Finder icon on your screen dock, the one on the further left side of the dock by default. Then simple navigate to the document folder on the left pane or any other location you want the folder to create new folder, again follow El Vergatario.
