Saving+Docs

When you are saving Documents (usually Word docs or Pages files or something), you want to put it in a folder where you can find it again.

We will open a program (Microsoft Word) and see how to SAVE it to the correct place (folder).


 * 1) Go to the DOCK and click on Word (big 'W') - it bounces up and down to show it is starting up.
 * 2) Type some words. Now click on SAVE. (1st time is save - only use SAVE AS if you want to make a copy of the current file to make changes [like a letter about camp - change the dates etc and give it a new name])
 * 3) Up will come a window asking where you wish to save it. If your window looks like this, click on the BLUE TRIANGLE (circled) and it will expand the window out.
 * 4) [[image:saveas.gif]]
 * 5) You should see this look:
 * 6) [[image:saveasextended.gif width="321" height="265"]]
 * 7) Now you need to choose where the file is to be saved - at the moment this file will be saved in to the DOCUMENTS folder as this is the folder chosen under the name of the file
 * 8) [[image:SAVEFolder.gif]]
 * 9) You can double click on a folder to go into it.
 * 10) Give the file a name - NOTE: the file here has the ".doc" on the end of it - please leave it on. This will allow any computer - PC or Mac to recognise the file.
 * 11) When you have the folder you want to save the file into - click SAVE.
 * 12) You will be back working on the file. You can QUIT or continue working. If you QUIT, you will be asked to save it again - you don't need to put it in the folder again - it remembers.
 * 13) If you keep working on the doc, every now and then, go up FILE and click SAVE. It won't ask you where again, it remembers.
