How to Save a Document in a Windows Based System

Computers have become almost a necessity in today's society. They are used the same as typewriters were three decades ago. Computers are doing most accounting, bookkeeping and presentations. The most common business systems are Windows based. Without a way to save the document for editing or retrieval, the computer would not have become such a necessity. Saving a document on your system is mandatory.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Create a document on your computer. Create a document in Word, WordPad or Notepad. Your document doesn’t even have to be a printed letter or memo, it could be a spreadsheet or presentation for a meeting. Regardless of the type of document, the principles are the same.
2. Pull down the File menu when you have finished writing, checking or editing the document. Almost every application for the Windows environment has a menu across the top of the window. The first item on the menu is File. This menu will have the choices of opening, saving or importing a document.
3. Select "Save" or "Save As" on the File drop down menu. If you have created the document from scratch and it is new then choose "Save As." If you have been editing the document then choose "Save" to update the file already saved to disk. For a new document, the "Save As" selection prompts you to name the file and selects where you want to save the file on the hard disk.
4. Name the file and save it to a location on the hard drive that you will remember. The desktop is always a good place to store it until you have finished with it.
