Why dont you have a look into the manuals (link available on the top of this page) and let us know if you didn't find your answer..

What happened when you tried it ? or what is being said in the manuals ?
Both your questions are pretty basic stuff which you can understand just by having a look into the manuals or testing them on your own ... |
