Saving your work

Before you turn off the computer, save your work to the hard
disk drive.

Always save your data even when you are using Standby
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

“Setting battery alarms” on

page 120

Many programs offer a feature that saves documents at
regular intervals, such as every 15 minutes. Check your
programs’ documentation to see whether they have an
automatic save feature.

To save:

A file you are updating, open the program’s File menu
and click Save.

A new file, choose Save As from the File menu, type a
name for the file, and click OK.

HINT: To make another copy of the file you are currently
working with, choose Save As from the File menu and give the
new file a different name.
