1.5 SAVING AND CLOSING PUBLICATIONS
When
you create a new publication, it exists only in your computer’s temporary
memory until you save it. Even if you will never use a particular publication
again, you might want to save it so that you can use it later as the basis for
a similar publication.
SAVING A NEW PUBLICATION
The
first time you save a publication, you can click the Save button on the
Standard toolbar or click Save or Save As on the File menu. Either action opens
the Save As dialog box, where you can assign a name and choose a storage
location.
In
Publisher, the dialog boxes that allow you to navigate to a particular storage
location, such as the Save As and Open dialog boxes, are linked. If this is the
first time in this Publisher session that you have used one of these dialog
boxes, it displays the contents of your Documents folder. Subsequently, it
displays the contents of whatever folder you last used. You use standard
Windows techniques to navigate to or create other folders.
After
you save a publication for the first time, you can save changes simply by
clicking the Save button on the Standard toolbar. The new version of the
publication then overwrites the previous version.
SAVING A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THE SAME PUBLICATION
If you
want to keep both a new version of a publication and the original version,
click Save As on the File menu and save a new version with a different name in
the same location or with the same name in a different location. (You cannot
have two files with the same name in the same folder.) When you save a new
version of a publication in this way, the new version is active in Publisher,
and the original version is not.
If you
want to be sure you can return to a previous version of a publication if you
don’t like the results of changes you make, you can save a backup of the
publication. Instead of clicking Save in the Save As dialog box, click the Save
arrow and then click Save with Backup. Publisher saves a separate copy of the
publication in the same folder.
