Save again, and find it tomorrow
Save without being asked anything, and get back to a letter you wrote yesterday in two presses.
Once a letter has a name, pressing Save again asks nothing. A small wheel turns for half a second, and that is all you see. Get into the habit of pressing it at the end of every paragraph and you will never lose more than a sentence.
Key points
- Save again in one press, with no questions asked.
- Get back to anything you have written, from the Recent list or from Documents.
- Tell Save from Save As, and know which one made the extra copy.
What to remember
- Every writing program keeps a Recent list. If the letter is not on it, Open a document and look in Documents.
- Save keeps one letter. Save As makes a second one. That is the whole difference, and it explains letter final final2.
Try this
Open something you wrote before and press Ctrl and S together — Cmd and S on a Mac. Nothing visible happens, and that is the point: after the first save, that is what saving looks like.
