I see you named a NEW folder Health because you had a lot of websites that had to do with Health saved in your Lifestyle folder.

Now, lets MOVE all saved Health websites out of Lifestyles into your NEW Health folder. There are two ways to do this.

** Follow first three steps above under Creating a NEW… (Skip step 1 if you are already on Internet) ~~ Click on Lifestyles Folder ~~ Locate and Click on website in your list that you want to move ~~ Click on Move to Folder ~~ You are presented with your list of Folders ~~ Click on NEW Folder, Health ~~ Click OK ~~ Click Close

OR you can use drag and drop technique:

~~ Right Click on website you want to move (Keep CLICK compressed until you * move * website) ~~ Drag to NEW Folder ~~ Drop into NEW Folder by releasing Click ~~ Click MOVE HERE

Repeat this process until you have all your saved favorite websites into * proper * folders.

If you discover you want to save/add a favorite website to your favorites and you DON’T have a folder already created, fear not, you can save/add and create a NEW Folder at same time! (I love computers!)

Let’s say you decide you want to save/add my website to your favorites and, maybe in future, you would like to save/add other organizers websites too, so you decide to make a NEW Folder called Organizers.

~~ Log on to Internet ~~ Type in my URL/Address: http://www.overhall.com ~~ Press Enter/Return ~~ Click Favorites ~~ Click Add ~~ Click New Folder ~~ Type in Organizers ~~ Click OK NOTICE: You can change NAME of website at this point ~~ Click OK

Remember, Storing, Saving, and Adding your favorite websites to YOUR folders can be FUN, and save a little time and craziness in your life. It will also bring you some control and organization to this crazy computer world that has sooo much to offer.

HOW TO SAVE A NEW DOCUMENT

You’ve just created a new document to Larry and now you need to * SAVE * it. Your computer will need to get some information from you in order to save your document and know where to save (file) it to on your hard drive.

Larry is a client and you have already made him a folder. You have completed document and it is STILL OPEN (on your screen).

~~ Move POINTER to FILE ~~ CLICK on FILE ~~ Move POINTER to SAVE and CLICK

A SAVE AS Box will appear. Notice three sections: Save in:, File name:, and Save as type:.

The Save in: section should have last folder name that you saved a document to. In this case you want to save your document in your * Larry * folder, which is located in Clients folder, which is located in MY DOCUMENTS folder.

~~ CLICK small black down arrow next to folder name in Save in: ~~ CLICK on MY DOCUMENTS ~~ Locate CLIENTS Folder in box and DOUBLE CLICK on it ~~ The CLIENTS folder should now be in Save in: section ~~ Locate and move your POINTER to * Larry * folder and DOUBLE CLICK on it ~~ The * Larry * folder is now in Save in: section

Now you have to give your document a name.

~~ PRESS Your TAB Key to move to File name: or move POINTER to File name: and CLICK.

~~ Something will already be there BUT you want to give document a name you will remember and can easily locate when needed.

Let’s say document is about meeting you had with Larry regarding his hair stylist on June 12, 2000. You might name document something like this: Hair Meeting 61200

~~ Type in name you want to give your document ~~ Press ENTER/RETURN OR ~~ Move POINTER to SAVE and CLICK

WARNING WARNING!! DO NOT do above if you need to SAVE document in a DIFFERENT FILE FORMAT, such as TEXT or HTML Code.

Save as type: default is usually Word Document but notice small black arrow next to this and CLICK on it. Here is where you are presented with a list of file types that you might need to save your document into.

Your document is still open (on your screen) after you have named it and SAVED it. To close document:

~~ Move POINTER to File and CLICK ~~ Move POINTER to Close and CLICK

TIP: If you make any changes inside document BEFORE you CLOSE it you will get a prompt asking if you want to save changes, click YES. If you click NO, your changes WILL NOT be SAVED in document.

Next month – I’ll be back with Part 4-b of SAVE in D-BUST YOUR COMPUTER where I’ll discuss SAVE AS function, AUTOSAVE, and saving to a floppy and a zip disk. In Part 4-c you’ll learn about saving your sent/received email, and saving your favorite website locations.
