Office 2000 Basics

Save As

After choosing Save using on the of two methods described on the previous page, the Save As dialog box appears.

To specify a file location:

• Open the Save In: drop-down list box.
• Choose 3 1/2 floppy (A:) if saving to a floppy disk.
• Choose (C:) if saving to your hard disk.
• Name your file in the file name box.
• Click OK.

After naming and saving a file once:

Click the Save button on the Standard toolbar.

Or:

Go to the File menu and choose Save. You will not get a Save As dialog box again.

If you do not choose a filename, Office 2000 applications assign a file name for you. It assigns the first line of text in your document, unless you give it a different name when prompted in the file name box.

If you do not specify a file location, Office uses the My Documents folder as the default location. If you can't find a file, check My Documents.

Important warning:

Save periodically when you are working in an application. If you lose information, you'll be sorry!
