<p><p>If you create a lot of documents, coming up with a name for them can sometimes be a hassle. This is especially true now that search is becoming a more prevalent way to find documents. Pear Note provides a way to have the application automatically generate a filename so you can avoid this hassle. To use this:</p><ol>
<li>Open Saving under Pear Note's preferences.</li>
<li>Select a default save location.</li>
<li>Select a default save name template (Pear Note's help documents all the fields that can be automatically filled in).</li>
<li>Check the box stating that Command-S saves without prompting.</li>
<li>If you decide you want to name a particular note later, just use Save As... instead.</li>
