Saving your work |
Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at regular intervals, such as every 15 minutes. Check your program’s documentation to see whether 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, that’s all there is to it. If you created a new document, your program displays a Save As dialog box.
Use this dialog box to specify where to store the document and to give it a file name.
