Save a file in Windows

• Do one of the following:
  • If this is the first time you are saving the file, click Save As, type a name for the file in the File name box, and then click Save As.
  • If you have already saved and named the file, click Save.

Notes

• By default, the file is saved in the My Documents folder. This folder is similar to the Documents folder on the Macintosh. When you save a file, you can choose the location where you want to save the file.
• In Microsoft Windows, the hard disk and floppy disk drives are identified by letters. The primary hard disk drive is drive C, and the floppy disk drive is drive A.
• To save a copy of a document and give it a different name or to save it in a different location, on the File menu, click Save As. Click the arrow next to the Save in box to find where you want to save the file, type the new name in the File name box, and then click Save.
