You can save a file to a folder on your hard disk drive, a network location, the cloud, a DVD, the desktop, flash drive, or save as another file format such as RTF, CSV or PDF. While you must identify the target location, if it is different than the default folder, the saving process is the same regardless of what location you choose.
By default Office programs save files in the default working folder. To save the copy in a different location, click a different folder in the folder list.
