I am new to Finale 2014 and I cannot find the SAVE icon that was so clear in Finale 2012

Appreciate your help

Jose,

I'm looking at F2011, so I don't know if this will be the same for F2014. But look here:

Windows menu>Toolbars>File Toolbar

Checking File Toolbar should give you your Save icon.

But you really don't need it. CTRL+S will save the file. This is a universal command, working in all programs, as far as I know.

Thank you, miker, but:

1) This route doesn't exist on F2014

: Windows menu>Toolbars

2) CTRL+S works on Finale 2012, but on F2014 opens the dialog "SAVE AS"

I took a look at the Windows 2014 users manual.

I don't know why CTRL+S isn't working for you. According to the manual, it should. Look in the File menu. Is there a shortcut listed next to Save?

It appears that the Windows menu was rearranged. In the Windows menu, look for File Palette, and check that.

In that case, contact customer support and ask them why your computer is different from the help files!

Thanks, miker.

As for the CTRL+S I was wrong. When you have to Save a File for first time always appears the dialog SAVE AS.

I didn't realize that.

But after the first saving CTRL+S works perfectly well.
