Saving documents

To save a document, it has to be visible as the currently edited document. To save this document

- select 'Save' from menu 'File'

The document will be saved at the location it was opened from. If respective document was newly created and thus not saved so far, you will be prompted for a location and file name for the document as with saving a document under a different name (see below).

Important: You have to enter a file name including extension (.htm or .html). The extension will not be completed by the application if it was omitted.

Note: Documents are opened using the HTML version set in the options dialog. Unless set otherwise, HTML 3.2 is used as the default.

Image directory

Along with the document file, an image directory is created with any image file referenced in the saved document.

Style sheet maintenance

If named styles were created or changed for a document, a style sheet will be created during the save process if none is already present. If a style sheet with the same name is found at the target location, it is merged with the style sheet to be saved. Instead of defining named styles for a document and merging them with an existing style sheet, a new document can also use an existing style sheet right away. See ' Creating new documents' and chapter ' Options dialog' for an explanation about this option.

Caution: An existing style sheet with the same name could have styles with the same name as altered ones in the saved style sheet. Overwriting such styles could cause unwanted styles to appear in other documents sharing the particular style sheet.

Therefore you should consider to either

1. not save documents in the same directory when they do not share the same set of named styles or
2. use different style names for different styles over all documents sharing the same style sheet

Saving a document under a different name

To save a document under a different name or at a different location than where it has been opened from

- select 'Save as...' from menu 'File'
- choose a new location and/or new file name and
- press 'Save'

Respective document again has to be visible as the currently edited document.

The document will be saved at the chosen location under the given file name. The original document remains intact at the original location but SimplyHTML switches the current document to be the newly saved one so subsequent save operations go to that file unless explicitly changed again.
