Closing a File

Often, because of limited memory capacity, you must close files and documents before opening or creating others. If you have not saved a document yet and you attempt to close it, the computer will ask if you want to save the document or not before closing it. If the file has already been saved and no changes have been made to it, your document will be closed immediately. If you have made changes to a document after saving it and you try to close it, you will be asked if you want to save the changes you have made to your document.

If you want to save the document, answer YES; if not, click on the NO button.

To practice this command, close your document.
