Saving Documents

You can save documents as follows:

• Save As – use if you want to create a new document, or change the filename and/or file format, or save the file in a different location on your computer.
• Save a copy – use if you want to save a copy of your current document and keep it open for more editing.
• Save All – use to save all the files open in your current session.

Saving documents automatically

DOCX Edit PLUS can save files automatically as part of the Auto-recovery feature. Automatic saving, like manual saving, overwrites the last saved state of the file.

To set up automatic file saving:

1. Go to Tools > Options > Load/Save > General on the Menu bar.
2. Select Save Auto-recovery information every and set the time interval.
3. Click OK.

Password Protection

To restrict who can open and read a document, or open and edit the document, use password protection.

1. Using the Save As command command above, select the Save with password option in the Save As dialog or Save dialog.
2. Click Save and the Set Password dialog opens.
3. In File Encryption Password, enter a password to open the document and then enter the same password as confirmation.
4. To restrict who can edit the document, click Options.
5. In File Sharing Password, select Open file read-only, enter a password to allow editing, and then enter the same password as confirmation.
6. Click OK and the dialog closes. If the passwords match, the document is saved password-protected. If the passwords do not match, you receive an error message.

Closing DOCX Edit PLUS

To close DOCX Edit PLUS completely, go to File > Exit on the Menu bar. 

You can also use a keyboard shortcut– Ctrl+Q

If any documents have not been saved since the last change, a message box is displayed. Choose whether to save or discard your changes.

Printing Documents

For quick printing, click the Print File Directly icon (the printer icon) to send the entire document to the default printer defined for your computer.

For more control over printing, use the Print dialog (File > Print or Ctrl+P).

The Print dialog has four pages, from which you can choose a range of options. 

Exporting to PDF

DOCX Edit PLUS can export documents to PDF (Portable Document Format). This industry-standard file format is ideal for sending the file to someone else to view using Adobe Reader or other PDF viewers.

Click the Export Directly as PDF icon (file format icon with a red PDF tag) to export the entire document using the PDF settings you most recently selected on the PDF Options dialog. You are asked to enter the file name and location for the PDF file, but you do not get a chance to choose a page range, the image compression, or other options.

For more control over the content and quality of the resulting PDF, use File > Export as PDF. The PDF Options dialog opens. This dialog has six pages (General, Initial View, User Interface, Links, Security, and Digital Signatures). Select the appropriate settings, and then click Export. Then you are asked to enter the location and file name of the PDF to be created, and click Save to export the file.
