# Open the files Ted makes

> Open, download or change the documents, spreadsheets and slide decks Ted makes, to use his work outside the chat.

When Ted writes something for you, like a business plan, a list or a spreadsheet, it comes as a card in his reply. Open it beside the chat, download it, or ask Ted about it.

To get one, ask Ted for it in the chat. See [Things to ask Ted](/ted/things-to-ask#research-and-files) for ideas.

**1. Open it**

On the card in Ted’s reply, press **Open** for a document, or **Preview** for a file like a spreadsheet or a PDF. It opens beside the chat. On a phone, it fills the screen.

**2. Download it**

Press **Download** to save your own copy. Spreadsheets and slide decks open in Excel or PowerPoint.

**3. Copy its words**

On a document, press **Copy text** to paste it somewhere else.

**4. Ask Ted about it**

On a computer, press **Talk to Ted**, and he picks it up in the chat.

**5. Change it yourself**

If you’re the owner, press **Edit** to change a document or a list right there.

## Check that it worked

The file opens beside the chat, and its card stays in Ted’s reply, to open again anytime.
