Saving your work

Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer, save your work on the hard
disk drive or a diskette.
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
1 On 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.
Use this dialog box to specify where to store the document
and to give it a file name.
When the operating system has found the file, click
Open.
HINT: To run the same program again, click the arrow to the
right of the text box and select the command line from the
drop-down list.
Always save your data even when you are using Stand by
mode. If your battery fully discharges, your information will be
lost. Your computer can be configured to warn you when the
battery is running low, see
page 116.
