I am using a new laptop with Microsoft 2007 installed, whereas I am used to
the 2003 version. I am not sure how to "Save As", using the 2007 version. I
have saved documents to a travel drive and wish to save some of those files
to my laptop under different names, after I have worked on them. Just how can
I do that? The 2003 version contained "Save as" and "Rename" to do these jobs.

NEVER save directly to any form of removable drive such as a memory stick.
Always work with the local HDD and then Copy to/from the removable memory.
Working to/from a removable drive is the number 1 destroyer of documents.

Thanx, Terry. Advancing from a "floppy" system to a system that accepts only
CD or travel disk storage is challenging, and I cannot readily identify the
advantages to it over the floppy, except having more storage available in a
smaller pkg.

Oh my, JoAnn, I never even thought to hover over that Office icon. And by
golly, there it is. It replaces the "File" button, of all things. What a
no-brainer! I do not remember getting an operations manual, if there was one,
when I purchased the Office software, unless I misplaced it, so I have been
playing it by ear.

Did I say Thanx? Well....

Thanks, A. Walker

Yes, there is a very extensive manual � It's called "Help" ;-)

Seriously, shipping printed documentation with software was virtually
discontinued by most developers more than 10 years ago. The locally
installed electronic Help files combined with web access provide more
extensive, current, searchable information as well as tutorials, videos &
access to other resources.

If you must use floppy discs you can, but never ever read from, write to, or
print from floppy with Word. These are the most certain methods of ensuring
document corruption.

*Copy* to/from the hard disc and always work on the document from there.

Word creates a raft of temporary files in the disc work space. The size and
number of the files is not obvious. If there is no room for them, there is
no warning. The disc will be corrupted and you will lose everything on the
disc
