There are two types of saving files: Save and Save As. Save As should be used the first time a file is saved to name and save the document. Save As gives the new file a name, like naming a new baby. Save should be used every time after the file is initially named and saved to Save changes made without changing the file name. It is important to Save often, like every 5 minutes or after each paragraph, to prevent losing unsaved work. The diskette icon can be clicked for quick and easy saving.
