Save a Document in Microsoft Word

To save a document in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:

1. After creating or editing your document, click on the "File" tab located in the top-left corner of the Word window. This will open the File menu.

2. In the File menu, select "Save As" if you're saving the document for the first time or "Save" if you've already saved it previously.

3. If you selected "Save As":

   • A dialog box will appear, allowing you to choose the location where you want to save the document. You can select a folder on your computer or cloud storage service.
   • Enter a name for the document in the "File name" field.
   • Choose the desired file format from the "Save as type" dropdown menu. The default format is usually .docx.
   • Click the "Save" button to save the document with the specified name, location, and format.

4. If you selected "Save":

   • Word will automatically save the document with the existing name and location. If you've made changes to the document since it was last saved, Word will overwrite the previous version with the updated content.

5. Keyboard Shortcut: You can also quickly save a document using the keyboard shortcut:

   • Windows: Press Ctrl + S.
