Saving files in different formats allows you to have options for how the file can be accessed and edited by others. Here is an illustration of how to save files in different formats using Microsoft Word:

1. Open the file you want to save in Microsoft Word.

2. Click on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the screen.

3. Select "Save As" from the drop-down menu.

4. Choose the location where you want to save the file.

5. In the "Save as type" dropdown menu, you will see different file formats to choose from. Some common file formats include:

- Word Document (.docx): This is the default file format for Microsoft Word and is compatible with newer versions of the program.

- Word 97-2003 Document (.doc): This format is compatible with older versions of Microsoft Word.

- PDF (.pdf): This format is commonly used for sharing documents that should not be easily edited.

- Plain Text (.txt): This format removes formatting from the document and just saves the text.

- Rich Text Format (.rtf): This format also saves the text without formatting, but preserves some basic styles like bold and italics.

6. Once you have selected the desired file format, click "Save" to save the file in that format.

By following these steps, you can easily save files in different formats using Microsoft Word to suit your needs for sharing, editing, or preserving the content.
