Saving files
The information that you enter in a document is temporary until you save the file that contains the data. As you update information during a work session, it's a good idea to save your work frequently to prevent accidental loss (for example, in case your computer loses power or loses its network connection).
You can save your data in a folder directory on your PC, or can save data in a folder on your home server if you use a network computer.
You can save work in any of the following file types:
- HTML
- ASCII
- Template
- In the action bar, click Save.
If you saved your data before, clicking Save saves the data again, using the file name you previously assigned it. If you did not previously save the data, a pop-up panel appears.
Follow the file-naming conventions that apply to your computer operating system and the type of file you want to save.
If you want to change the format in which the saved file is stored, click the "Enter the document type" box and click another file type.
- If you want to change the folder in which you store the saved file, click Browse.
The File Viewer pop-up appears. Click the folders in the left pane until the folder you want appears. Then click Save to close both popup panels.
- Click Save.
Tip If you want to change the name of the file type another name in the leftmost box of the Save dialog box.
