Save vs Save As Comparison:

  • SAVE (Ctrl + S): Updates and saves your new typing edits to the existing file in the same folder without changing its name.

4 Common Word File Formats:

  1. Word Document (.docx): Standard modern Word format for editing and saving daily work.
  2. PDF Document (.pdf): Best format for sending official letters, email attachments, or printing shop files so layout and Khmer fonts never break!
  3. Word 97-2003 Document (.doc): Backward compatibility format if sending files to older computers running old Word versions.
  4. Word Template (.dotx): Reusable template file for standard company letterheads or invoice forms.
