This article describes how to save a file that you downloaded using FTP. After you download the file, Word opens a new document and places an object icon in your document.

MORE INFORMATION

To save an FTP file that appears as a packager icon, do the following:

1. With the right mouse button, click the embedded object. The shortcut

   menu will appear.

2. From the shortcut menu, choose Edit Package Package.

3. In the Object Packager, choose Save Contents from the File menu.

4. Type a filename and choose a location for the file.

5. Choose OK.

6. Quit the Object Packager.

7. Close the Word document that contains the package. (You do not need to

   save this document.)
