Saving files

1On the File menu of your Windows® program, click 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, choose Save As from the File menu and give the new file a different name.

File names

The Windows operating system supports long file names which can contain up to 255 characters and can include spaces. Some applications do not support long file names and require file names limited to no more than eight characters.
