Alright. We are in module 2, which is Getting Started with Word, and this is actually section 3 where I want to talk to you a little bit about saving your documents. If you have a document you've already created you don't actually have to save it if it's a one-time thing. You can actually print it out if you want and then close it. But if you want to be able to open it in the future you need to save it. So I want to go through the whole saving procedure with you so you'll know what the different options are as far as saving your document.

One of the first things I noticed when I flipped over to my file here is that I've misspelled the word Stock. It's actually the word Sock currently. I'm going to click between the S and the O and put my T in there. There, that makes me feel a little bit better.
As far as saving goes how do you know if this file has been saved before? Well your first clue is when you look up here at your title bar it says Document 1 currently and that tells me that I haven't yet saved it and given it a name.

So there's a couple of ways I can get to the Save window. I can use this button here which means Save. I can also click my File tab and use Save or Save As. Now let's talk briefly about the difference in these two.

If this file has never been saved then any of those three options I just mentioned to you will automatically take you to the Save As window. When you're in the Save As window you're going to have to tell it two things. What would you like to name the file? And where would you like to store it? If you've already saved the file once and you've added something to it then Save would actually allow you just to update the file. Notice that right now no matter which of the three I pick I'll go to Save As. I'll choose Save just to show you. And see how it took me to the Save As window?

Now I have a couple of choices here. I can save my file to OneDrive. And remember that means that if you have an account with Microsoft OneDrive already which is free then you can upload this and that way you can access it from anywhere you'd like as long as you have internet access. You can also share this file with others that way. You can save to this PC, you can add a place or browse. Most of the time you're going to use browse. So I'm going to click on Browse. And this actually takes me to the actual Save As window. Here's where I'm going to name the file right here. Notice it pulled in the first line of what I typed thinking I want to call it April 14th, and I don't. So I can type over that whatever I want. Notice the dot-DOCX. I do not have to type that in. Word will assign that for me automatically. I'm going to go ahead and call this My 1st Memo.

Sorry, we couldn't fit the entire video transcription here since YouTube only allows 5000 characters.
