Saving your work Before you turn off the computer, save your work on the hard disk drive or a diskette. This is one of the most important rules of computing. TECHNICAL NOTE: Save your data even when you are using the Standby command, in case the main battery discharges before you return to work. Saving documents is quick and easy, so it is a good idea to get in the habit of saving frequently. 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. Learning the Basics Learning the Basics Saving your work Use this dialog box to specify where to store the document and to give it a file name. A sample Save As dialog box 2 Choose the drive and folder where you want your file to be stored. 3 Type a file name, then click Save. 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. The Windows® XP operating system supports file names of up to 255 characters; the names can include spaces. Some applications still require MS-DOS® file names. File names If you plan to share your files with a computer using a pre- Windows® 95 version of the Windows® operating system, the file name must be no more than eight characters long. Typically the file name also has an extension, consisting of a period and up to three additional characters. 78 78 78 Printing your work You may use all the letters and numbers on the keyboard plus these characters: _ ^ $ ~ ! # % & { } ( ) @ and ‘. MS-DOS® file names are not case-sensitive and must not contain spaces. Using a file extension Most programs assign an extension to the file name that identifies the file as being created in the program with a particular format. For example, Microsoft® Word saves files with a .doc extension. Any file name with an extension of “.doc” is assumed to be a Microsoft® Word file. Creating your own extension is usually unwise, since the program is unlikely to recognize a strange extension and may refuse to handle your file correctly. Printing your work Ensure the operating system is set up for your printer as described in “Using a printer” on page 113. HINT: You only need to set up the printer the first time you connect it. If you use more than one printer or are changing printers, you will need to set up the Windows® XP Professional operating system to run with the additional printer(s). To print a file: 1 If your printer is not on, turn it on now. 2 Open the File menu of your Windows® program and click Print. The program displays a Print dialog box.
