Hey Lisa, thanks, I will print this off. Computers aren't my thing, so this will help.

How is your arm my dear?

Learn to navigate through your computer without your mouse and be liberated! I can get so much more work done when I leave my hand off the mouse. Alt + Tab and the main Ctrl key combinations make up the majority of the keys I hit on the keyboard!

Walking, ctrl+ s will open up a Save dialog box asking you where you want to save to, if you haven't saved the document already. Once saved, ctrl+s will save the document to the same place and just over-write the previous version.

k
nothing showed up........but you have to remember.........i am driving the flintmobile.........with a rock as a vid card............win98se

 

[allen]

Hey, Thanks for the info, I need help in this department, The company I work for may think I took computer classes, I don't see a raise in the future tho.

 

[glued2it]

too much coffee or too much google?

 

[ajthepoolman]

Let me make sure we are on the same page.

If you are viewing the forums and hit ctrl+s then nothing will happen. A browser doesn't save information.

If you open up Notepad and type something in it then hit ctrl+s then a Save diaglog box should open up.

Go ahead and save whatever you typed to where ever the default location is (probably My Documents).

Now, go back into your Notepad document and type some more stuff. Now hit ctrl+s and you will notice that the Save dialog box didn't show up this time. That is because Notepad knows where to save your changes to and won't bother you with the Save prompts.
