Type a file name, then click Save.
HINT: To make another copy of the file you are currently 
working with, choose Save As from the File menu and give the 
new file a different name.
The Windows
®
 XP operating system supports file names of 
up to 255 characters; the names can include spaces. Some 
applications still require MS-DOS
®
 file names.
File names
If you plan to share your files with a computer using a pre-
Windows
®
 95 version of the Windows
®
 operating system, the 
file name must be no more than eight characters long. 
Typically the file name also has an extension, consisting of a 
period and up to three additional characters. 
You may use all the letters and numbers on the keyboard plus 
these characters: _ ^ $ ~ ! # % & { } ( ) @ and ‘. MS-DOS
®
 
file names are not case-sensitive and must not contain spaces.
Using a file extension 
Most programs assign an extension to the file name that 
identifies the file as being created in the program with a 
particular format. For example, Microsoft
®
 Word saves files 
with a .doc extension. Any file name with an extension of 
“.doc” is assumed to be a Microsoft
®
 Word file. Creating your 
own extension is usually unwise, since the program is 
unlikely to recognize an unusual extension and may refuse to 
handle your file correctly.
Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at 
regular intervals. Check your programs’ documentation to see 
whether they have an automatic save feature.
