Filing documents when you save them

The first time you save a document (or whenever you choose Save
As to create another version of that document), a directory dialog
box appears. A directory is the list of files and folders contained in
a folder or on a disk.

You use this box to name your document and indicate where
to store it. Directory dialog boxes vary slightly from program
to program, but all share certain features.
