Saving Files to Flash Drive

  • Open a new document and save it with a new name so you can use mini saves while working.
  • Go to “File”, then from the drop down menu click on “Save As”
  • Next to where it says File Name it probably says something like Publication1
  • Delete that and type your filename using your name and today’s date like this:
  • John Smith 11-7-14 File1
  • If you work on more than one project that day, save your new work with a new filename:
  • John Smith 11-7-14 File 2 
  • On the left side of the screen, under “Computer” you should see “Removable Disk”
  • Click on Removable Disk
  • If you don't see "Removable Disk" under Computer, then click on "Computer" and you should see it then.
  • Now you should see a blue “Save” button at the bottom of the window.
  • Click on “Save”.   Now your file is saved to the Flash Drive.
