But you can choose another place to save. Scroll through the list using the slider (highlighted with a red frame) and click on the desired folder or drive (flash drive)

Part of the first line of your text is automatically entered in the File name field. You can agree with the proposed document name or change it to your own. Leave the File type field unchanged.

saving the document (Figure 6 - for Word 2003, Figure 4 - for Word 2007). Then proceed according to my prompts under the pictures.

If, after saving the document, you continue to type text - Word will automatically save the typed text periodically. But you yourself can, right there, after making changes to the document, save it by pressing the keys Shift+F12. I am this
I do this: I press the right Shift key with the thumb of my right hand, and the F12 key with the middle finger. Try it - very convenient and fast.

Working in Microsoft Office will be much more efficient and faster if you know keyboard shortcuts for, for example, highlighting text and underlining or undoing actions.

Recently, I was given a monoblock for my birthday, and after installing MS Office2013, I found that the hotkeys had been “swapped”. Ever since I worked as a layout designer, I've gotten used to using hotkeys widely, as using a mouse slows down work on a PC. So, in Word2013, the combination Ctrl + S stopped saving the file, and Ctrl + V stopped inserting text. Fortunately, Microsoft provided the ability to customize hotkeys, which I took advantage of.

In Word, go through the menu File –> Options, go to the tab Customize Ribbon and click on the button Setting… (Fig. 1).

Note. Typically, you will want to assign new hotkeys to all files. Then leave the window setting Save changes to: unchanged - Normal.dotm. If for some reason you only want to assign new hotkeys to an open file, select its name in the window Save changes to:

Repeat the procedure to set up hotkeys for other commands. The most popular commands are shown in the table in fig. 3.
