Choose a Folder (Optional):
- If you want to save it in a specific folder on your Desktop (and not just on the Desktop itself), navigate to that folder.
Name Your File: Enter a name for your document in the “File Name” field.
Select File Format:
- In the “Save as type” dropdown, choose the desired file format (e.g., ODT for LibreOffice documents, DOCX for Microsoft Word compatibility, etc.).
Click Save: After selecting your desired location, naming your file, and choosing the correct format, click the Save button.

Now your document should be saved in the chosen Desktop folder.
Troubleshooting Tips:

Make sure you have permission to write to the Desktop folder. Sometimes, user account settings or security software can interfere with saving files.
