To save work for the first time from a Microsoft application:
-
Go to File > Save as
-
Select the folder where you want the file saved from the drop down list at the top of the screen
-
Give the document an appropriate name
-
Ensure the Save as type is the desired format for your file, 'Word document' is the default (you can select various file types here such as PDF)
-
Click save
For subsequent saves:
Using the Save option will overwrite the existing document.
We recommend that for sensitive or important documents you use the Save As option for all saves, and simply change the document name by adding a number each time (MyDocument1.docx, MyDocument2.docx etc.). Doing this means that if you experience any problems with saving you will always have your previously saved version to refer to.
