Some applications provide automatic save options for
specified intervals of time as you work. For example, you
might want to save your work every 10 minutes. This
reduces the amount of lost information should you lose
power or experience some other problem.
In Windows programs, you can select a Save option from
the File menu. If you are creating a new file, you'll need to
specify a name for your file and a location to store it (drive
and directory).
Always save your work before you exit an application. See
the application's documentation for available save options.
Backing Up Your Work
Back up your work on a regular basis! Backup procedures
are important for the efficient and effective use of your
computer. Protect your program and data files with regular
backup procedures.
Make backup copies of your program and data files that are
on diskette and on the hard drive.
The standard practice for diskette backup is to copy each
diskette, store the original in a safe place, and use the copy
as your working diskette. See your operating system
documentation for information about copying diskettes. Use
your Zip drive or Ditto tape backup unit (if installed) to
back up your files.

T
connect a printer to your computer

If you have not connected a printer, see "Connecting a
