To save a new document:
1.
Select File > Save.

In the dialog box that appears, navigate to the folder where you want to
save the file.
3. In the File Name text box, type a name for the file.
Avoid using spaces and special characters in file and folder names and
do not begin a filename with a numeral. In particular, do not use
special characters (such as é, ç, or ¥) or punctuation (such as colons,
slashes, or periods) in the names of files you intend to put on a remote
server; many servers change these characters during upload, which will
cause any links to the files to break.
