Saving scanned materials to a floppy disk for future use

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.
