WORKING WITH DOCUMENTS

Creating and saving documents
The types of documents you can create depends on the design of the database you are using. For example, in your mail database, the Create menu allows you to create mail memos, tasks, calendar entries, bookmarks, phone messages, and more. In a discussion database, the Create menu may offer these options: mail memos, tasks, calendar entries, main topics, responses, and responses to responses.

You can save a document you're working in and keep it open, or save an open document and close it. Remember to save a document often while working with it.

Note You can create a document in a database if you have Author access, Depositor access, or higher.

To create a document

1. Open a database.

2. Choose Create - <type of document>.

Note If you have a document selected in the database you are working in, and choose to create a new document, the new document you create may inherit or copy properties from the currently selected document. To prevent this, press and hold CTRL (Macintosh users, COMMAND) when you choose a document type from the Create menu.

To save a document and keep it open


To save an open document and close it

1. Choose File - Close, or Press ESC.

2. Select an action in the "Close Window " dialog box; click OK.

Note The "Close Window" appears only if there is information to be saved.
