University PCs - saving work to the U Drive

I wasn’t aware that I needed to save my work to the U Drive and therefore lost all my work.

When using a PC in the LRC to create notes, or materials for an assignment or presentation it is essential that you save your work.

Remember to save your work regularly

As soon as you have created the document (that could mean writing the title). Save it to your network space on the U Drive.

• click on: File - (Top left hand tab)
• click on: Save As
• choose your U drive: Student Id Number
• Type the name of Document in File Name box (bottom of dialogue box)
• click Save
• after that it is OK to just click Save at regular intervals. Please don't rely on the autosave.

Very Important

Do not save files in My Documents or to the Desktop. These are networked PCs and any work saved like this will be lost.
