When you work with word documents, and you want to keep any changes you make, there are two easy ways to save your new document. The first is to simply click the "Save" icon in the button bar as shown in the red circle on the left. |
It is a good habit to save your changes often while you work. Some programs automatically save your changes every few minutes as you go along, but most do not. It is a sad thing to have a computer malfunction or a program lock up right in the middle of your work. You'll realize then how important it is to save your changes as you work because you will have lost all your hard work! I know! It has happened to me.

When you work with word documents, and you want to keep any changes you make, there are two easy ways to save your new document. The first is to simply click the "Save" icon in the button bar as shown in the red circle on the left. |
Once you click on this icon, your changes are saved immediately. It might not seem as if anything has happened, or you might catch just a slight flicker or something, but rest assured, the changes are saved. You do not need to rename the file, and it is still saved in the same place as before. (If you click this icon and you have not already saved the document for the first time, the "Save as..." window will appear and you will have to choose a name and location for your document--see above!.)

Another way to save changes is to click on
"File" in the menu bar, and click "Save".
As soon as you click "Save", the menu disappears and you are back in the word document. Your changes have been saved. If you are familiar with the Control-Key shortcuts, you can do a "Ctrl+S" to save you document as well. |
