Saving a Document.doc
When you save any document for the first time, Word suggests a file
name for you in the "File name:" text box that corresponds to the
first heading or sentence in your document (up to 255 characters). If
you like that name, simply click the Save button to save the file in the
default (or last used) folder on your computer.
For purposes of this class, give the file a different name by
adding your last name at the beginning of the file name (up to 255
characters, spaces allowed), then click the Save button (or tap the
ENTER key). Use a simple name such as Smith_Issue_1.doc or
Smith_Article_1.doc. Do not add dates, course numbers, etc.
Placing your last name on the file helps ensure that you are properly
credited for your work.
