Saving to a Remote Computer

Any time you save a new document — whether it’s one you’ve created yourself or something you’re downloading — a Save As dialog box (or something similar) will open, enabling you to save the file. The dialog box will have a Folders list so that you can choose where you want to save the document.

As with the Open dialog box, you can choose the Network folder from the Folders list to get to all of the locations in your Network folder, and then navigate to wherever you want to save the file from there. Or, click in the text box where you would normally enter the filename and instead enter a UNC path to the folder where you want to store the file. After the folder opens in the dialog box, enter the filename.
