Saving text documents

To save a text document, on the main menu, point to File and click Save. If you are saving the document for the first time, this opens the standard Save As dialog box. In this dialog box, specify the file name and directory and select the file type.

To save an existing document with a different name, on the main menu, point to File and click Save As. This opens the standard Save As dialog box. In this dialog box, specify the file name and directory. If the text document has one of the four standard encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16, ANSI, or OEM), it is selected as the default encoding in the Save As dialog box. If the document has a different encoding, the default encoding is UTF-8. When you save a document with a new name, the document with the old name remains on the disk.
