Opening Similar Files and Saving to Different Names

For people who frequently use computers, technology has to be thanked a lot. Unlike the days before the computer age wherein we had to rely on the traditional typewriter, documents no longer have to be re-typed nor corrected with the usual “snow fake” or erasers to ensure that we come up with good documents for approval and of course presentation.

Ever since the advent of software applications which went as far as the first “Word Star” or “Word Perfect” one thing that is glaring is the fact that we can just open a previous document with the same template and just change the data needed like the addressee, location and subject and save it under a different name. Print it and you can imagine the time you saved for it. All of this thanks to technology.

Today, this is familiar to us using the Microsoft Word program. While the on-screen presentation and formatting has surely been made better through the years, the process of opening, editing and saving document files under a different name has been a common practice from computer users. We see it done at home and the office and you can imagine the time element saved thanks to this practice.

There may be instances that you have accidentally overwritten such files but you can always use the traditional CTRL+Z to the point where the original document started. Just don’t close it though as that would be the end of it.

So as you can see, this is one basic task. It shows how productive you can get if you put your mind to it. A simple document preparation has a large bearing on being able to create and submit reports on time. It is all about using the right template at the right time.
