Once you set up your publication layout, it is important to save it before you start entering text and graphics.

To save a publication for the first time.

  1. Click on File, then choose Save or Save As (or press CTRL+'S').
  2. In the Save Publication dialog box, type a name for the publication, then select a drive or folder in which to store the publication.
  3. Click Save.
After you name and save a publication once, the Save and Save As commands function differently:

To save changes made to a publication.

1. Click on File, then choose Save (or click the Save button on the toolbar).
This saves the changes made to your publication with the same filename.

Using the "Save As...' command.

Save As can be used if you want to:
  • Name and save a new publication.
  • Save a publication on a different disk drive or in a different folder.
  • Make a copy of an existing publication with a new name, leaving the original publication unchanged.
To save a publication with a new name or in a different location.
  1. Click on File, then select Save As.
  2. In the Save Publication dialog box, select the new location you want to save your publication in and/or type a new name.
  3. Under Copy, select an option.
(a). No additional files - saves the current publication only.
(b). Files required for remote printing - copies all the files needed to print the publication to one location.
      4. Click Save.

Reverting to the Last Saved version.

Sometimes, you may make changes to a document that make the document more confusing. To abandon all the changes and restore the most recently saved version of your publication;
  1. Click on File, then select Revert.
  2. In the prompt that appears, click OK.
This deletes all changes made since the last time you saved the publication.

Closing a publication.

This closes the active publication and returns to the PageMaker window.
  1. Click on File, then choose Close.
If you have made any changes since you last saved the publication, PageMaker asks if you want to save those changes. You can save the changes, or ignore them.
