Saving your work

Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at regular intervals. Check your program’s documentation to see if it has an automatic save feature.

Saving files

1 In your Windows®-based application, click File, and then Save.

If you are working with a document that already has a file name, this is all you need to do. If you created a new document, your program displays a Save As dialog box.

Use this dialog box to specify where to store the document and to give it a file name.

3Type a file name, then click Save.

HINT: To make another copy of the file you are currently working with, click File, and then Save As, and give the new file a different name.
