Using OMNI 1000 with Shortcut Keys

Saving a document to the hard disk for future use

Before saving your document, you need to decide whether you want to use the "Save" or the "Save As" option:

1. Use Save to:

• at any time, save changes you have made to the document you are working on.
• select the name for a document the first time you save it.

• Use Save As to:

• rename a document if you want to save more than one version of it, or to change the current name to a different one.
• change the format of a document, such as to ASCII.

Please note that, if you are using a public computer (not your own computer), a file saved to the hard disk may not remain there.
