Saving--There are a few things to remember when it comes to saving. |

 Save
often, especially if you are making lots of changes in a short
period of time.PowerPoint presentations often out grow a floppy disk very fast. Do you have a way of moving the presentation off the computer with a USB flash pen or network if needed? If you are using floppy disks to save, make-backups. It's not a question of if the disk will go bad, but when. To make a backup, open the presentation and choose File >Save As on the toolbar (not Save) and choose a new location that's on the computer, not the floppy. If you plan on adding sound/movies to your PowerPoint, remember they are just linked to your presentation--not actually in it. Even when you save your presentation, you often leave the sounds and movies behind if you transfer the presentation off the computer that you created it on (see Animation > movies or sounds for tips on how to prevent losing them). Presentations can also be saved as a web page, which can be shared over the Internet. To view a PowerPoint presentation on a computer that does not have this software program, Pack and Go is the answer. By saving your presentation this way, your presentation and enough files to run the program, are created to export. This feature is also great, because it takes a copy of all files, i.e. sound, that are linked to the presentation. |
