How do I save a Google Docs document?
Answer
There are different ways of getting started using Google documents: you can create a new online document, you can upload an existing one, or you can use a template from our templates gallery.
To Create a New Document, go to your Documents List, click the +New button.
As soon as you name the document or start typing, Google Docs will automatically save your work every few seconds. At the top of the document, you'll see text indicating that your document is saving. Once the changes to the documents have been made or when you are done typing, the text at the top will read All changes saved.
To Save a Copy of a document to your computer, you can download it. In your document, go to the File menu and point your mouse to the Download option. Click one of the following file types: HTML (zipped), RTF, Microsoft Word, PDF, and plain text. Your document will download to your computer.
