How to Save Your Work
When you’re working on a document, all your work exists in the
computer's temporary memory. When you turn the computer off,
everything in memory is lost. Therefore, it’s important to save
your files to the hard disk or to a diskette before turning the power
off.
Saving documents is quick and easy, and it’s a good idea to get in
the habit of saving frequently. That way, if you run into trouble,
you won't lose many long hours of work.
Many programs offer a feature that saves documents after a set
period of time. Check your programs’ documentation to see if they
have an automatic save feature.
You use the same procedure to save files in all Windows pro-
grams. This section describes this procedure.
1 Choose Save from the File menu.
If you're working with a previously existing document, one
that already has a file name, that's all there is to it. If you've cre-
ated a new document, your program displays a Save As dialog
box:
A sample Save As dialog box
You use this dialog box to specify where to store the document
and to give it a file name.
2 Choose the drive and folder where you want your file to be
stored.
3 Type a file name and choose OK.
