Before writing a document in Word, follow these two important tips:
First, make sure autosave is enabled and set at a short interval (I recommend 1-5 min). Mac users: go to Preferences > Save > and check the AutoRecover box. PC users (Word 2007): click on the Microsoft Office Button, Word Options, and then Save. PC users (Word 2003): Go to Tools > Options > Save. If Word freezes or your computer crashes, the autosaved file should be there when you reopen Word.
Second, save your document before you start typing and do a manual save on your own every few minutes (you can do this easily by hitting CTRL-S on a PC or CMD-S on a Mac).

A web browser is a program on your computer, like Microsoft Word or Photoshop. There are many different browsers available today, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer (IE), Safari, or Google Chrome. The main purpose of a browser is to access or “browse” the internet.

If you’re an iPhoto user, a quick way to clean up space on your computer is to empty iPhoto’s trash. Whenever you delete a photo in iPhoto, it doesn’t actually delete it. It keeps it in the trash until you choose to empty it. All you have to do is go to the iPhoto menu and click Empty Trash. But beware, any deleted photos will be gone forever!
