Computing tips

❖Save your work frequently.

Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory until you save it to the disk. You will lose all the work done since you last saved, if, for example, a system error occurs and you must restart your computer, or your battery runs out of charge while you are working.

HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature which you can turn on. This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset intervals. See your software documentation for details.
