Saving file Using Save As

Saving file Using Save As

Saving a document in an earlier version allows you to share files with others who do not have the same version of PageMaker as you.

Saving for the First Time

Save As allows you to name the file. Do not panic if you choose the Save option instead of Save As the first time you save your document. PageMaker will always generate a Save As dialog box if you are attempting to save an untitled document.

Saving under a New Name

If you want a copy of your file saved with a new name use Save As to rename the file. The original-titled document will remain as it was after the last save. The new file name will appear in the title bar and any additional saves will be to the new file.

Saving as a Template

If you want to save your formatting for use in subsequent documents, use Save As to save the file as a template. For more information, see Creating a Template.

Compacting a Large File

If a large PageMaker document is taking up too much disk space, choose the Save As option but do not change the document’s name or location. PageMaker will ask if you want to replace the existing file with the same name. Click YES. The file will essentially reorganize itself on the disk and take up less disk space.

Using Save As

Use the Save As option to save a file for the first time, to save a file under a new name, or to compact a file. 1. From the File menu, select Save As. The Save As dialog box will prompt you to name or rename your file.

2. Check to see that the file is being saved in the proper location and adjust its location if necessary. 3. Type the file name. 4. To save as a template or as a different version, from the Save as type pull-down listing, select the file type. 5. When you are finished, click Ok.

Using Save

Use the Save option to save additional changes to a file that has been previously saved. From the File menu, select Save. PageMaker will save changes made since the last save. A watch or an hour glass will appear on the screen indicating a Save is in progress. Once the file has been saved, the last tool you were working with will appear on the screen and you can continue working.
