Saving documents

In Word, you must save your document so you can exit the program without losing your work. When you save your document, it is stored as a file on your computer or in a network location. Later, you can open the file and continue working on it.

It’s important to save your document whenever you start a new one or make changes to an existing one. Saving early and often can prevent your work from being lost (and save you from rework!)
