1 Programs that let you create files or save data have a Save command, usually in the File menu. When you save a new file, the Save As dialog box appears (see below). You can let the computer decide the location, the file name and the format, or you can choose these settings yourself. There are many different file formats and they all have advantages and disadvantages. You can save a word- processing document as a web page, for example, or you can save digital photographs in a JPEG format, a TIFF format or many others.
2 The Save As command is the default command for any new document so the Save As dialog box appears even if you click Save. If you do not give a new document a file name in a word-processing program, the file name will usually default to the first line in the document. The default file name in graphics programs is usually 'Unfitted’.
3 If you work on an existing file and want to save changes, click Save, not Save As. You can use Save As to save an existing file in a different location, for example, in another drive or folder (using Save in). with a new name (using File name) or in a different format (using Save as type).
4 Having different folders helps you organize your files, but naming all the different files in one folder is not always easy. You should give files names that describe exactly what they contain so that you can find them easily.
3 Decide if the sentences are true (t) or false (f).
1 If you do not choose a location, a name, or a format when you save a new
file, the computer will do it for you. T/F
2 If you click Save on a new file, the Save As dialog box appears. T/f
3 You can save files in one format only. T/F
4 You can save existing files in more than one place on your computer. T/F
5 The Save command only saves existing documents. T/F
