Saving your work

Saving files

1 In your Windows

-based application, click File, and then Save.

2 Click Browse folders.

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.

stored.

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.

File names

The Windows

operating system supports long file names that can

contain up to 260 characters and can include spaces. Some

applications do not support long file names and require file names

limited to no more than eight characters.

You may use all the letters, numbers, and other characters on the

keyboard, except for these characters: \ / ? : * " > < |. File names

are not case-sensitive.
