How primary and secondary storage handle storage for application program instructions?
when working on a Microsoft word document, why is it important to save your work often?(use primary and secondary storage to explain)
Where are the changes stored until you save the documents?
When working on a document, you are working in the computer's Random Access Memory (RAM). Though very quick, RAM is a volatile memory. If you don't save your document to the internal hard drive, or to an external storage device, before turning off the computer, all is lost - the document no longer exists.If working on an important document, save to the hard drive every few paragraphs. Then, if things go wrong, you only need to begin again at your last save, and not from the beginning again. Save as you go is good advice.

When working on a computer, it is vital to save one's work often. The work is stored in RAM, which is the primary storage mechanism of the computer. If the power were to go out, the work would be lost. However, if the work is saved to the hard drive, or secondary storage, then it will not be lost if there is an outage.

How often does the AutoRecover feature save a Word document?
Every 10 minutes
If you have clicked 'no' by mistake to save changes to and Excel document can you still retrieve this file?
That depends on the specific situation. If the document has been previously saved, you will have the file up to the point it was last saved, but without any of the new changes in it. If it is auto-saving you may have some more. If it is a brand new document that was never saved before, then you will have lost everything. If there was an error in Excel as you were working on it, you might get a recovered document, but if you just said you did not want to save it, as you've indicated in your question, then that won't happen. As a general rule, if you are working on a big document, save it every so often, even before it is finished, so that if you do something like you did by hitting "No" you will have at least got some work back. Make sure the Auto save is on, by going into the Tools menu and then Options and then in the Save tab, you can turn on autosaving. That will help recover a document if there is an error in Excel, so you won't have lost everything.
What is the difference between 'save as' and 'save' and why is it important to know the difference when managing files?
and good Question! The difference between the two is this... Save will save the document as it is, but in most cases if it has not yet been saved or has a name, you will be prompted to save the file by giving the file a name. Save As... allows you to save an item/document to whatever name or format you choose to. A good example of this is if you are working on a resumé (saved as Resume1.doc) and you want to try a couple different styles without messing up the main document, you make your changes and then Save As... and name it (saved as Resume2) and then you just continue doing this as need, all the while keeping the Main completed document untouched and safe. Glad to help just mark this as Answered if you could please, ty. Æ =)

When you save a document does the computer transfer the document from a storage medium to memory?
No. It transfers it from memory to a storage device, so it does the opposite.
What is the example for save and save as?
When you click on "Save" for a new document, you are asked the same question as "Save as" -- that is, choose a title and format to save it as. If, however, you are working on a previously saved document and wish to merely save changes you've made, click on "Save." If, however, you wish to save it as a different title or format, click on "Save as." This way you will end up with two versions, the old and new ones. For example, if you have an MS Word document (.doc) and wish to also save it as a Wordpad document (.rtf), click on "Save as" and change its format in the drop-down menu. You may get a notice that the new format may not show the document exactly as it is in the original format; so be sure to look it over and make any necessary adjustments.
