Saving a Document
Here we show you how to save your documents permanently.
Click the Save File button on the menu
OR Choose File > Save from the menu
OR
Press CTRL+S on the keyboard
The Save As dialog box appears on the screen.
The Save In box at the top of the window shows the location where you are about to save your file. Look at the main area of the dialog box. This area lists the drives and folders where the file can be saved.
If you want to change the location, double-click folders in the main area of the dialog box until the desired folder appears in the Save In box.
If you want to save the file in My Documents, for example, ensure that in the “Save in” drop-down list box, the My Documents folder is selected.
Type the name of your file, article.doc, in the File name textbox.
Finally, click Save to save the file to your hard drive.
There is no need to key in “.doc,” Word automatically adds the extension to the file name.
When the first draft of the article is ready, Nick decides to show it to his friends.
