you can drag across the part of the name to be corrected and then retype.
3. Click the Save button.
The program saves the document, and the dialog box disappears. The name of
the document now appears in the window's title bar.
In some programs the pointer becomes a wristwatch while the document is being
saved. (Other programs use a different icon.)
Shortcut for saving: You can save revisions quickly by using the keyboard
shortcut x-S, which is available in many programs.
A different way to save: Some programs, such as HyperCard and other database
software, save your document automatically after you make a change and when
you close the document. In these programs, you name a document when you
create it.
Saving a revised document
When you make changes to a previously saved document, you can save your
revisions quickly with the Save command. This command saves your revisions
without changing the document's name or location.
Be sure to save your work often during work sessions.
Use this one-step procedure to save a revised document:
- Choose Save from the program's File menu.

Saving a document under a new name
You can change the name of an existing document with the Save As command.
When you save with a new name, the original document (with its original name)
remains intact, in the version you last saved before changing the name. (To
rename a document without retaining a version under the old name, change its
name on the desktop.) To avoid confusion with different versions of a
document, it is a good idea to include a number, date, or other identifying
element whenever you change a document's name.
1. Choose Save As from the program's File menu.
A directory dialog box appears, with the document's current name selected in
the name box.
2. Type a new name for the document.
Your typing replaces the selected name. If you make a typing error, you can
use the Delete key to erase backward, or you can drag across the part of the
name to be corrected and then retype.
