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 the Stand by. 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 122
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.

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.
Use this dialog box to specify where to store the document
and to give it a file name.
