Word 10! Dear tecchies needed....
Hello everyone - just beginning to be able to peek back at cloud.
Lovely to see/read you all.
I am trying to self publish and launch my barge story for my mum. She was 90 on Sunday so am in a bit of a rush.
Also off to a funeral tomorrow (my aunt, mum's younger sister) it has been an annus horribilis for our family this year! Oh no last year.
I digress. But you can see why I am in a rush.
I would like to be able to save the story onto a dongle as my computer is palying up but I can't see how to do it, nor how to get it onto my external hard drive. when I pressed 'save' in the good old days I was given choices which drive ie 'A' or 'C' but now it gives all kinds of formats like PDF or text etc, but how do I send it to the above?
Thank you in advance.
Still smiling at your joke Alan.

As for formatting etc etc... Can't help, but I do reformat in to PDF and email work to myself as attachments to help safeguard it from getting lost. Not technically correct, but I can't get my head around all that sort of thing!
What you want is "Save As" which saves it under a different name (or in a different location or both).
My twelve year old grandson came round for the day - (he finds it more peaceful here to lie around and do his homework) I put the above question to him and lo, he tapped a few keys and there was my work saved on a dongle and an external hard drive - then he said 'look at the mess your filing is in.'
Que, moi mess, there is a system? I said it is ok you don't need to worry.
His reply 'oh no, a computer has to be tidy, organised - it won't take a minute.'
He has only had a lap top since christmas!
There, he said look at that, look how free your bar is!
Me - bar? oh yes, wow - and all the book bits and writing are all in the same file, amazing. Now I don't need to trawl through the tax and other extraneous paperwork to find my novel.
Ha ha - sad innit?
Now how did he do that....?
