NWE Help: Web Authoring: Saving in ASWE

NWE Home :: Help :: Web :: Authoring :: ASWE

To save a file in asWe, do one of the following:

• Choose Save from the File menu
• Press the toolbar button which looks like a disk (third from left)
• Press control-s on your keyboard.

(Most functions in asWe work this way -- you can do them with a menu choice, a button press, or a keyboard command. Work the way you find most comfortable.)

The following dialog box will come up:

This dialog box shows you several things. The top shows the display filter being used. (More on that here.) On the left is a list of subdirectories in the current directory. On the right is a list of files in the current directory which match the filter. The bottom box is the name of the file.

1. Make sure that you are saving your file in your public_html directory. If necessary, scroll down on the left until you see public_html and double-click. The window will refresh and show that directory. If you don't save the file in your public_html directory it won't be available on the web.

2. Next, type a file name for the current document. Make sure the file name ends in .html or your document will not look right when viewed in a web broswer. You may want to refer to our suggestions for naming files as well.

3. After you've typed a file name, press Enter. The file will be saved. You're now ready to view the file in Mozilla.
