Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer, save your work on the hard disk
drive or a diskette. This is one of the most important rules of
computing.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Save your data even when you are using
the Standby command, in case the main battery discharges
before you return to work.
Saving documents is quick and easy, so it is a good idea to get in
the habit of saving frequently.
Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at regular
intervals. Check your program’s documentation to see if it has an
automatic save feature.

Saving files

1On the File menu of your Windows® program, click Save.
If you are working with a document that already has a file
name, this is all you need to do. If you created a new
document, your program displays a Save As dialog box.
