Working with Files / Saving to Skydrive
Subtitles of the Movie (Microsoft Word 2013 / Working with Files / Saving to Skydrive)
In this lesson let's talk about saving your files. Obviously being able to save your files is a very important skill that you must have. You need to know how to save them, you need to where you've saved them so you can find them again. And you need to know how to save them as different file types should you ever need that. Let's go in and make a new document, type something in there and now we need to save it. We can hit the little disk button at the top, we can hit Control S on the keyboard or we can go to File and Save As. At this point we have to decide where we want to save it, to the Cloud, to our local computer or they also offer a SharePoint Connection. Now if when I'm working on my document I decide to save it and I go to File, Save notice it flips me to Save As automatically. Until you've actually given your document a file name, it will always take you into the Save As area. So let's start out with saving to Skydrive. I'm going to select Melanie Hedgespeth's Skydrive. It takes me onto my computer to my Skydrive Directory. I've loaded this Skydrive app which creates all of this. Here are all of my files that are synched with Skydrive. I'm going to leave this one called Saving to the Cloud and I'll hit Save. If you look down here at the bottom you'll see where it says Uploading to Skydrive. Then up at the top you'll see my filename, let's go out to Skydrive and Refresh. And right there's my file. So if I'm done with my file right now and I close it out on my local computer and say tomorrow I'm in another country and I access my Skydrive, I'm still going to have that file and I can work on it. I can make changes and save it and it will synch it for me everywhere. That way I have the same file with the same items in it no matter where I'm at, no matter what computer I'm on. I can also look more at my Skydrive by using my little Task Tray down here. This little Cloud graphic tells me what it's doing and if I click this link it opens up my Skydrive Directory on my computer. This shows all the files and what's been synched. If you don't have Skydrive locally installed, the app. All you got to do is log into Skydrive and look down here at the bottom and click that link. It'll give you an executable, run it install it and you're ready to go. The only other thing sometimes people tell me is instead of it saying your name in Skydrive, it will say Someone's Skydrive. All you have to do is go into your Account Settings and edit the name. All you need to do is get your first and last name in there and then it 00:03:20 ] will actually have your name next to Skydrive. Okay. So we've saved to the Cloud. So let's go back and look at our other saving options in our next lesson.
