Hi Robbie,
Here is a set of instructions I wrote up a while back for working through
the save as dialogue box in Word 2010 and it might help you some.
1. Press f12 to open up the "save as" dialogue box. It will be in the
filename edit box waiting for a new filename to be typed in.
2. Tabbing once you will be in the "save as type format" where you get to
choose which type of format the file is to be saved in. Word is the
default.
3. Tab again and it will ask you for "An author" put in your name here if
you wish to have the file properties note who drew up the file.
4. Tab again you will be in the "add a tag" edit box, this is just a
reference label for the file if you're searching for it at some point in
the
future. Tab again and you will be asked if you wish to add a thumb nail,
you
can just skip this.
5. "Hide Folders" button will be next, this is an interesting one because
if
you are having difficulties locating your folders where you wish to save a
file then this button could hold the key to revealing those folders. If
you
tab around and can't find a button labelled with "hide folders" but
instead
you have a button which says, "browse folders button" then you need to
press
this button in order for folders to be revealed to you such as the
documents
folder and its contents.
6. Let's assume that now you have hit spacebar on the browse folders
button,
tab on to the next controls which are available. These controls will
include
the following;
*. Tools button,
*. Save button,
*. Cancel button,
*.Desktop split button,
*. Search edit box,
*. Organize button,
7. Once we have cleared the above selection of controls we will come to
the
folders list box and in mine it has highlighted, "Documents, "closed".
8. Tab key once again and we are placed on yet another element which
indicates to us that it is the "locations button"
The purpose for this button is that when pressed with the spacebar it will
direct us to the library locations. Libraries are now the new way
windows
locates its various files, folders and settings. In this particular
instance
it will indicate to us that here is where it has located the "my documents
folder" and if you wish to create another new folder in this library
location that you can do so. Beyond this information, you need not concern
yourself too much about this button.
9. Tab key past the "locations button" and we will land on the "folder
button". You access this drop down list using the spacebar. It should be
set
as "folder" when you tab over to it as this is its default setting. Using
the contents of this drop down list will indicate which information comes
next when we use the tab key. For example if you choose "date" from this
list by pressing enter on it then a list of files within your documents
folder will be next and will have their dates indicated to you. I
recommend
you leave this as folder however.
10. In this final list box will be contained the contents of your "My
Documents" folder, here if you have for example sub folders which you
would
like to have your newly created file placed into then arrow up or down to
the folder and press enter on it.
Note: Folders, sub folders within the documents folder are placed before
any
individual files also contained within the main My Documents folder.
11. The next button we jump onto is called "Name split button". The
purpose
of this button when pressed with the spacebar is to reveal any sub folders
contained within the My documents folder for you. Should you wish to
insert
your new file into any of these sub folders, arrow down through this list
and press enter key. This will then place you inside that sub folder.
12. Finally we are back onto the file name box, type in the name of the
new
file and then press enter key if you are happy about the file and where
it's
going to be saved into.
Paul.
