how do i save a microsoft word document on XP to a computer disk?can someone give me step by step instructions

Answer 1

To save a document for the first time, you will click File, Save.
You will get the Save As dialog box.
At the top, pay attention to where you are saving it.
- near the bottom left, for filename, give the file a name
- below that, for file type, click the down arrow and select Word document
After the first save, subsequent saves (File, Save) will save a new copy to the same place.

To save a copy to a floppy disk or flashdrive:
First, you have to determine the drive to which you want to save -- a floppy is usually a:
a flashdrive could be e, f, g, h etc.
a CD/RW could be D or E

To save a Word document to any one of these, open the file.
click File
click Save AS

- in the Save AS dialog box, at the top, click the down arrow until you see the appropropriate drive
- near the bottom left, for filename, give the file a name
- below that, for file type, click the down arrow and select Word document
- A copy or backup of your file will be saved to your chosen destination.

depends what kind of disk for floppy ,zipdisk,thumbdrive,ect just open the document the go to File>> save>> then select the location to save the file from the pulldown list (click the back arrow) pick the drive you want, floppy is usually the a:\ drive other drives get diffent letters asigned windows usually also tells what kind of drive it is so it shouldnt be a hard choice. c:\ is the internal drive . im thinking you dont want that. once you find the right one hit save thats it. you can look at the drive were you put the disk in it should start flashing or making noize if you got the right one.

making a cd is sometimes trickyer easyest way is to save to desktop (from that same Puldown menu) now put in a blank cd normally xp will open a "wrihtable cd" window you can drag teh word file you saved on the desk top over to the ""wrightable cd" window

when you let go an icon for the word file will show up in the cd window kinday greyed out now in that window off to the left side it will say "wright these files to cd. click that and folow the prompts name it whatever you want and just keep clicking though the end the default settings will work for most cases.

Ok. So you got the document saved on your cpu, in case the whole thing just screws up. Insert your disk into the CD drive (some cpus have a DVD drive- THIS DOESN'T WORK!!!) Go back to your document. Click file> save as> then on the menu where it says where you want to save it, go to "my computer" then go to the disk. And save it.

Answer 4

just hit the save button. If you are using windows XP, it will automatically save on the disk, unless if you mean flash disk or an external hardisk, that another story. Open my document folder (or the folder where you previously saved your file) then right click your file and then left click the "send to" to wherever you want to save it.

Another option: open your document and instead of hitting the save button (the diskette icon), use save as and then it will ask you where you want to save the document. Then, you have to specify where you want to have your document saved.

the original file will not be erased in its original folder.

You can go to a computer or stationary store to get a hard drive scrubber program they run about 20.00 and most are pretty good then clean the hard drive this will remove everything you can then use the windows XP disk to format and install as these will return your hard drive to a " new " condition .
