You use an editor, in your case LEd, to edit the .tex file. With that same editor you can compile the .tex file to for instance .dvi or .pdf.

Hi Jafar,

welcome to the board!
MiKTeX also installs the editor TeXworks. Perhaps it's easier for you to use this editor for the first steps: type the code, click the "Typeset" button.
