Really depends... What program are you typing in?

So... Word?
On mine it's default: Ctrl + S |

There's usually an icon that looks like a 3.5" floppy disk or a 'Save' command in the file menu, you should use that if it's an existing file. If you've never seen one look up 'floppy disk' on Wikipedia, it's got articles on historical artifacts.
The 'Save As' option in the file menu usually givs the message you've described. |

Say you've created a file called myfile.doc. You open that file and make your changes, then try to save it. You'll automatically be asked to confirm you want to overwrite the previous version of the file...if you're happy for that to happen then click ok (or "confirm" or whatever the button says) and it'll save. If you want to keep a copy of the old version too then just use "save as" to change the file name to myfile2.doc, for example, and you'll have both. ------- Websites for the more discerning guild - http://guildpimp.com Casual raiders, hardcore fishermen - http://fightingmongooses.co.uk |
