Save, download, print your document

Saving

By default, online Document Editor automatically saves your file each 2 seconds when you work on it to prevent your data loss in case the program closes unexpectedly. If you co-edit the file in the Fast mode, the timer requests for updates 25 times a second and saves the changes if they have been made. When the file is being co-edited in the Strict mode, changes are automatically saved at 10-minute intervals. If necessary, you can easily select the preferred co-editing mode or disable the Autosave feature on the Advanced Settings page.

To save your current document manually in the current format and location,

• press the Save
  icon in the left part of the editor header, or
• use the Ctrl+S key combination, or
• click the File tab of the top toolbar and select the Save option.

In the desktop version, to prevent data from loss in case program closes unexpectedly, you can turn on the Autorecover option on the Advanced Settings page.

Printing

To print out the current document,

• click the Print
  icon in the left part of the editor header, or
• use the Ctrl+P key combination, or
• click the File tab of the top toolbar and select the Print option.

Adjust the following parameters in the Print window that opens:

• Destination - choose the destination of the printed file, e.g., Save to PDF, Microsoft XPS Document Writer, Microsoft Print to PDF, Fax, etc.

In the desktop version, the available printing settings are Print range, number of Pages, Copies, Print sides, Page size, Page orientation, and Margins. You can also print the file to PDF or use the Quick print button in the top toolbar to print the file on the last selected or default printer.

It's also possible to print a selected text passage using the Print Selection option from the contextual menu both in the Edit and View modes (Right Mouse Button Click and choose option Print selection).

In the online version, a PDF file will be generated on the basis of the document. You can open and print it out, or save onto your computer hard disk drive or removable medium to print it out later. Some browsers (e.g. Chrome and Opera) support direct printing.
