Save As file

[Guest]

I posted a question earlier, but it wasn't answered correctly. I'm trying to
find out, if I can add a file to the "Save As", so I can save pictures or
documents to a file other then what is listed in the "Save As" lists. Right
now, when I click Save As, there are a list of files that I can save my
pictures to, but I want to add more to it, so I can save the picture to a
file that I created. Thanks.

Hi,

You probably are not going to be able to do what you are thinking. "Save as"
will allow you to save a file in a format that is supported by the
application that you are working with. These are determined by the
programmers that write the software, you are not going to be able to alter
that. At the OS level, this function only allows you to save the file in a
format that is, again, supported by the OS. "Save as" does not allow you to
add to an existing file, but rather to change the file name or format as a
new file.

I appreciate the response. I have put different files into the Save As file,
but I can't remember how I did it. I know, that when I click save as, a bunch
of files came up that allowed me to save what ever I had to those files, but
I new a way to add more content to the save as file. Thanks anyway.

What exactly are you trying to do?

This explains all the features of the Browse, Open and Save As dialogs.

Places bar
[[Provides shortcuts to places on your computer or the network from which
you can open a file, such as the History folder, the desktop, or My Network
Places. When you click a location, it will appear in Look in, and the files
and folders in the selected location will be listed at the right.]]

Look in or Save in box
[[Specifies the location where you want to locate a file or folder. Click
the arrow to select another location, or click on the toolbar to move up
levels.

The box below lists the items in the selected location. To open a file, in
the Open dialog box, double-click the name of the file you want to open. To
save a file using an existing file name, in the Save dialog box,
double-click the name of the file you want to save.]]

File Name box
[[Provides a space for you to type the name of the file you want to open or
save. To quickly find a file you’ve previously opened, click the file name
in the drop-down list, if available.

If you are searching for a file, you can use asterisks (*) as wildcards. For
example, you can type *.* to see a list of all files. You can also type the
full path of a file, for example,

C:\Mydocs\Letter.doc.

If you are saving a file, you cannot use a question mark (?) or an asterisk
in the file name. If you use a question mark or asterisk and click Save, the
file will not be saved and the dialog box will not close. ]]

Files of type box
[[Lists the types of files to display.]]
