You can save the file you're working on, whether it's new or been saved before, and you can also save a copy of the file with a different name or in a different location. You can save any file in HTML format so that it can be viewed and used on the Internet.
Places to store files
When you open the Open and Save As dialog boxes after starting a Microsoft Office program, the My Documents folder appears by default. The My Documents folder is a good place to store files you're working on, such as documents, worksheets, or databases. (If you use Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0, you can save files in the Personal folder.)
The Favorites folder is a good place to store shortcuts to files and folders you use often, including those in remote network locations. The original file or folder doesn't move — instead, a shortcut that goes to it is created. Storing shortcuts in the Favorites folder gives you quick access to any file without your having to remember where the file is located.
Network Places is a good place to store files you want to copy or publish to folders on network file servers or Web servers. Saving files to a server allows others easy access to them. Network Places appears in Windows 2000 and Windows Millennium Edition. In Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0, you use Network Neighborhood and Web Folders to work with files on network file servers and Web servers respectively.
The difference between a fast save and a full save
With a fast save, your Microsoft Office program saves only the changes to a file. Saving only the changes takes less time than a full save, in which the complete, revised file is saved. A full save, however, requires less disk space than a fast save. You should do a full save when you finish working in a file and save it for the last time.
