Answer

When working on documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.), it is a good idea to Save As before beginning your work. Continue to save your changes every 5-10 minutes, so you do not accidentally lose your progress.

If you are using NWTC computers, it is best to save your files to your OneDrive.

To save files to your OneDrive, click File from the top ribbon, then Save As. You will see a OneDrive option with your student ID or email address. All files saved here can only be accessed and deleted by you. These files can be accessed from any computer with Internet by logging in to OneDrive. DO NOT save files to an NWTC computer because data is removed regularly.

If you are unsure how to save to OneDrive, ask a Library staff member at the Library Desk.
