Creating and Saving Files 43
- On the dialog box’s toolbar, click the New folder button, type My New Documents
as the name of the new folder, and press Enter. Then double-click the My New
Documents folder. - In the File name box, click anywhere in Parks Appreciation Day to select it, and
then replace this name by typing My Announcement.
Important Each type of file is identified by a specific file name extension. For exam-
ple, the extension .docx identifies documents created in Word 2010 or Word 2007 that
don’t contain macros. Windows 7 does not display these extensions by default, and you
don’t need to type them in the Save As dialog box. When you save a file, Word automatic-
ally adds whatever extension is associated with the type of file selected in the Save As
Type box. - Click Save.
The Save As dialog box closes, Word saves the My Announcement document in the
My New Documents folder, and the name of the document, My Announcement,
appears on the program window’s title bar.- Display the Backstage view, and then click Save As.
The Save As dialog box opens, displaying the contents of the My New Documents
folder, because that is the last folder you worked with.- In the Address bar of the Save As dialog box, to the left of My New Documents,
click Chapter02.
The dialog box now displays the contents of the Chapter02 practice file folder,
which is the folder that contains the My New Documents folder.
See Also For information about working with the file properties that appear at the bot-
tom of the Save As dialog box, see “Preparing Documents for Electronic Distribution”
in Chapter 7, “Preview, Print, and Distribute Documents.” - Click Save.
Word saves the My Announcement document in the Chapter02 practice file folder.
You now have two versions of the document saved with the same name but in dif-
ferent folders.
CLEAN UP At the right end of the title bar, click the Close button (the X) to close the
My Announcement document. Leave Document1 open for use in the next exercise.
