The File Format Drop-Down Menu

The Save As dialog box in many programs offers a menu of file formats
(usually referred to as file types) below or next to the “File name” text box.
Use this drop-down menu when preparing a document for use by somebody

whose computer doesn’t have the same software.

For example, if you’ve typed something in Microsoft Word, you can use
this menu to generate a web page document or a Rich Text Format

document that you can open with almost any standard word processor or
page-layout program.

the close box (marked ) in the upper-right corner of the window, by

double-clicking the top-left corner, by clicking the in its taskbar icon’s
preview thumbnail, or by pressing Alt+F4. If you’ve done any work to the
document since the last time you saved it, Windows offers a “Save

changes?” dialog box as a reminder.

Sometimes closing the window also exits the application, and sometimes
the application remains running, even with no document windows open.
