Mouse: Click on File in the menu bar. The File menu opens, and you can invoke
the Save command with a mouse click.
Keyboard: PC users can alternatively use the underlined letters in the menus to
invoke the corresponding commands. Type them while holding down the Alt key.
To save the file, press (Alt)(F) for File and then (S) for Save.
Perhaps, while using the menu, you may have noticed that “Ctrl+S” is displayed to
the right of the Save command. This is the keyboard shortcut for this command.
This means you can also press (Ctrl)(S) to invoke this command and save your
document.
There is also a shortcut for mouse users: In the Standard toolbar you will find icons
for the most frequently needed commands.
To save your document, click on the diskette icon in the Standard toolbar (the third
icon from the left).
Tip: If you point the mouse cursor at a toolbar icon (without clicking) a text box
appears, giving the icon’s function.
If the Standard toolbar is not displayed, it is probably deactivated. To reactivate it,
invoke the command View > Toolbars and click on the checkbox in front of
Standard.
The Save dialog box
If the letter has no name, the program automatically displays a dialog box that asks
you to specify the filename when you invoke the File > Save command. There,
type a name for the document in the Filename box or, if you would like to overwrite
an existing file, choose a name from the list of files.
We are going to name the document LETTER. So enter “Letter” in the Filename
box and click on OK or press the Enter key (¢) to confirm your entry. TextMaker
saves the file under the specified name and automatically appends the extension
.TMD (for “TextMaker document”). Thus, the full filename reads LETTER.TMD.
The next time you invoke File > Save this dialog box will not appear, since the
document now has a name. Hereafter, it will be saved immediately under its name.
By the way, you could have exited the dialog box without executing the Save
command. You could have done that by clicking Cancel instead of OK on the
