Where did my work go?
- Save your work often!!
- Many users do not save their files until they are done working with them and
risk losing everything that they have worked on. The more often you save, the
more work you will retain if your computer malfunctions. Additionally, watch the
file name you are saving your work as. IT receives many calls from users who
have saved over work that they did not intend to and want to retrieve the
original document. If in doubt: use Save As.
