1.8 SAVING FILES
As you type data from the keyboard it will appear on your screen, and you can watch as your presentation grows. To make your work safe you need to make a secure copy of your presentation in a file.
To
save your file, either click the File button and select Save, or click the save
button in the quick access toolbar. The first time you do this for a particular
file you will get a dialog box where you can supply a name for your workbook
and specify a place in which to save it.
Specify
a name for the file in the File Name box. A file name can contain up to
256characters, including spaces and capital letters. Next you need to specify
the location for the file. This can be any folder on your hard disk or network
account. Initially, PowerPoint will offer you the My Documents folder, but you
can change this by selecting a new drive or folder from the Save in menu.
The
file name is followed by the extension .pptx the name helps you identify
individual files whereas the extension helps PowerPoint to recognize files that
it has been used to create. When you have entered a name, click the Save button
to save it.
All
subsequent saves will update the existing file without asking for a filename.
