Saving files
1 On 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.

be stored.
3 Type 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.
