Saving your work
Before you turn off the computer using the Shut Down command,
save your work on the hard disk drive, diskette, flash media, or
optical disc. This is one of the most important rules of computing.
When you turn off the computer using the Sleep or Hibernate
commands, your work should be there when you resume.
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.
