Chapter 4
Learning the Basics
This chapter covers the basics of using your computer.
Computing tips
❖ Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory until
you save it to the disk. You will lose all the work since your
last save if, for example, 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.
HINT: Some programs have an automatic-save feature which
you can turn on. 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.
