In many programs you will check a file drop down menu that has some a save and save as choice on it. many fresh computer users do not obviously check the difference of Save and Save as. They appear very same, look like they do the similar thing, They both are concerning to saving files on your PC but can both have very dissimilar results..

while you are saving a file for the 1st time and press save you will find selections on selecting a file name, file position, and file type. as I saved a document in Word 2007 for the first time. consider my 3 selections are available to vary.
as you save a file that so soon has a early edition saved, with the accurate file-name, pressing save will overwrite that file. You will not consider the similar selections as you did while you first pressed save on a fresh file.

Actually you will most probable check perfectly nothing. It will simply silently overwrite the original file. many programs assume that if you open a file from your PC, edit it, and then press save, you just need to update the primary file.
Pressing save as will once again give you the selections to change the file position, file type, and most significantly, the file name. This will permit you to save your file in a new name and prevent overwriting the primary file.

we require both the Save and Save As choices is that Windows will not permit you to save two files with the accurate file name in the same folder or position. So for instance if you have a file named SAVEAS. doc so soon saved in the documents folder, some other files with the same file name will overwrite the new file. This is why we want the save as choice, to save the edited file under a fresh name. You can yet save the same file name in unlike folders. This is why we end up with multiple copies of the similar file.
