I've just created a word document for pig iron sake and pressed F12 to save it and it worked. Try it! I guarantee you it will certainly work! It also works when saving a Webpage etc! It's always useful to have another quick alternative as opposed to the longer version which is good to have when starting off from scratch when using a computer! Now that's your homework for next week! hahahahaha! Regards.
