## Aspose.Words - Save Document

Simply use the `Document.Save` method with a file name as a string. Aspose.Words will infer the save format from the file extension that you specify.

**Java**

{{< highlight csharp >}}
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir(AsposeSaveDocument.class);

Document doc = new Document();

// DocumentBuilder provides members to easily add content to a document.
DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);

// Write a new paragraph in the document with some text as "Sample Content..."
builder.writeln("Aspose Sample Content for Word file.");

// Save the document in DOCX format. The format to save as is inferred from the extension of the file name.
// Aspose.Words supports saving any document in many more formats.
doc.save(dataDir + "Aspose_SaveDoc.docx",SaveFormat.DOCX);

## Apache POI HWPF XWPF - Save Document

FileOutputStream is used to write the data in document when using Apache POI. Sample is shown below:

**Java**

{{< highlight csharp >}}
// The path to the documents directory.
String dataDir = Utils.getDataDir(ApacheSaveDocument.class);

XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument();
XWPFParagraph tmpParagraph = document.createParagraph();

XWPFRun tmpRun = tmpParagraph.createRun();
tmpRun.setText("Apache Sample Content for Word file.");

FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(dataDir + "Apache_SaveDoc.doc");
document.write(fos);
fos.close();
