Learning the Basics
This chapter gives some computing tips and provides important
information about basic features.
Computing tips
❖ Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory until
you save it to the disk. If the network you are using goes down
and you must restart your computer to reconnect, or your
battery runs out of charge while you are working, you will lose
all work since you last saved.
See “Saving your work” on page 84 for further information.
HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that can be
activated. This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset
intervals. See your software documentation for details.
❖ Back up your files to disks (or other removable media) on a
regular basis. Label the backup copies clearly and store them in
a safe place.
