Save a Document

When a document is displayed in the document window, it is saved only in the computer's memory. If your computer loses power, you will lose all the information you have entered. Therefore, you should save your document to a disk to store it for future use. When you save your file for the first time, it is good idea to give the file a meaningful name so that you can easily remember its contents.

To Save a File For the First Time

• Click File on the Menu bar.
• Choose Save As.
• In the Save In box, click the drop-down arrow.

• Choose the location which you want to save your file. (A drive, C drive, or My Documents, etc.)

Choose 3 ½ Floppy (A:) if you want to save your document to your floppy disk.

Choose (c:) if you want to save your document to your computer's hard drive.

• Enter a file name in the File Name box.
• Click Save.

To Save a File After It's Been Altered

After you have made changes to your file and like to save the changes, click the Save button on the toolbar.
