Saving a File in AppleWorks

(Remember the Mantra: "Save early, save often!")


Whenever you open a new document, you should save it before you begin to type. From the File menu choose Save or Save As...

When you first save your document, it will need to be named and you must choose a place to save the file to. This could be a folder on the hard drive or a computer disk. NEVER SAVE FILES INTO THE APPLEWORKS FOLDER.

Examine the Save dialog window below:

 

    To save to the General Folder on your hard drive:

  1. First type the name of your file. Do not click in the ìuntitledî area. 
    The name you type will replace untitled.
  2. Click and hold your mouse on the location rectangle at the top and select  Macintosh HD
    Scroll through the list and double-click to "open" the General Folder.
     
    (General Folder should now be displayed in the location rectangle).
  3. Verify that the name and location are correct, then click Save. 
    Be sure to select SAVE from the FILE menu again before you print and when you close your document.
