Saving a copy of a document on a different disk

You can easily save a revised version of a document -- or just a duplicate

copy -- on a different disk.

1. Choose Save As from the program's File menu.

The directory dialog box appears, with the document's name selected.

2. Click the Drive button to display the name of a different disk.

If you are using floppy disks, you may have to eject a disk -- using the

Eject button in the dialog box -- and then insert the desired disk.

3. If necessary, select a location on the new disk.

If the pop-up menu in the dialog box for the new disk doesn't name the

location where you want your document, select another location.

If you want to save the document in a folder, double-click the folder to

display its directory. (If the desired folder is inside other folders, you

will need to repeat this step until the desired folder's directory is

displayed.)

If the folder you want is located at a higher level than the list currently

displayed (that is, if it is buried in fewer folders within folders), use the

pop-up menu above the list box to move to the appropriate level.

4. Click Save.

The program saves the document, and the dialog box disappears. The newly

saved document becomes the active version -- that is, you are now working on

a different disk and your changes will be saved there.

If you try to save a document on a disk or in a folder that already contains

a document with the same name, you see a message alerting you that the

version you are saving will replace the one already there.

You can avoid replacing the old version by clicking No. Clicking Yes replaces

the old version with the new one.

Saving text and images in the Scrapbook for easy access

The Scrapbook desk accessory provides an excellent storage place for text and

images you use frequently. The Scrapbook is installed automatically with the

system software, and you can use it to store as many items as your startup

disk has room for.

When the Scrapbook is open, you use the standard Cut, Copy, and Clear

commands to operate on the content of its window.

You cannot change a Scrapbook item -- you can only add, copy, or remove it.
