How to save document in computer/ laptop :

If you have already written your homework or made your work, you
might want to save it somewhere so you can get it again to print or
email. You might also have started the document but want to finish it
later.
This guide explains how to save documents in Microsoft Word Office.
Some steps may vary slightly depending on your version of Word,
open the Microsoft Support website for details.
You’ll need:
 A computer with Microsoft Word installed.
You can save a document at any point as you type it, and it’s very
good practice to save every few minutes. That way, if your computer
crashes before you’ve finished your composition, you won’t lose what
you’ve typed.
Follow these step-by-step instructions to save a document
Step 1: Start a new document in Word and type your text.
Step 2: Click File in the top left-hand corner of the screen.
Step 3: From the menu, choose Save.
Step 4: A ‘Save’ dialogue box will come up. At the top and at the left-
hand side in the list of folder options, it will show the folder where
you’ll be saving the document. If you wish to change this folder,
navigate through the folders on the left-hand side of the dialogue box
to choose the one where you want to save your document.
Step 5: Word will automatically give your document a name, based on
the first few words of your text. If you don’t like the one given, once you
have chosen the destination folder, type a name for your document in the
‘File name’ box. Come up with a name that is concise but will allow you
to find the document easily again.

Don’t worry about changing what’s in the box underneath, labelled


‘Save as type’. This seldom needs to be changed. It allows you to choose
the type of format that all documents created with these settings will
have.
Step 6: Once you have typed in the name of your document, click Save.

Step 7: Your document will now have a name, which will be shown at
the very top of your document screen. If you make changes to your
document and then save them after it has been saved originally, the
dialogue box will not come up again. It will just save your changes
without any visual notification being shown.

Step 8: The ‘Save As’ menu – the link to which is on the left-hand side
of the ‘File’ dialogue box, beneath ‘Save’ – is used to save an existing
document under another name. This is helpful if you’ve made changes to
your document and then want to save the changes, but also keep the
original document in its original format and under its original name.
