Save a file in Notepad

Saving your work is the most important habit on any computer, and Notepad makes it simple once you know where to look.

This tutorial guides you through opening the File menu, choosing “Save as”, giving your file a name, and clicking Save — with the pointer showing you exactly where each control is and waiting until you've done it.

By the end you'll be able to save any note with confidence, and the same steps work in almost every Windows program.
