What is the difference between Save and Save As?

In many situations, you may need to save a file. Whether you are creating a web page in Dreamweaver or typing a school paper in Microsoft Word, the save function is a handy way to make sure you don't lose your work. Even though they have very similar names, "Save" and "Save As" have a few subtle differences in certain instances. The sections below provide details about both options.

New work or documents

In most programs that create files, the Save and Save As functions work identically on the initial save. That is, when you select either option for the first time, the program will prompt you to name the file, and then choose its format and the location in which you want to save it.

Existing work or documents

With existing work (work that has already been named and saved at least once) these two functions behave differently. Save, updates your work by replacing the last version with what you currently see on your screen. The Save As function provides users with the ability to renamea file, change its extension, or create a new version (a new file exclusive with the previous save).

Downloading files

Save As is a function that is sometimes referred to with different text. For example, when you right-click on a particular file, hyperlink, or image on the Internet or in an e-mail, you may see options like Download As, Save As, or Save Link As. Though the wording is somewhat different, the functionality remains virtually the same. The basic Save function is not used with downloads.

1 The science of economics studies business, production, trade, inflation, unemployment and the decisions that governments, companies and we take every day.

2 While microeconomics studies how companies and households run their business, macroeconomics looks at the economy of a country as a whole.

3 Economic resources include both material things such as raw materials, housing and others, as well as non-material things, for example, time.

4 Every day we make many decisions and each is a trade-off between different resources.

5 Economists collect data and on the basis of this data they create economic models.

6 Economic models show relationships between different processes in the economy.

7 Adam Smith, 'the father of modern economics', considered that a nation's wealth depended on its ability to produce goods.

8 Economists test theories using empirical evidence. It is evidence that can be collected and measured.

9 This theory deals with factors such as inflation, taxes, salaries and unemployment.

10 Governments, companies and academics use econometrics to make correct decisions, find out relationships between variables, etc.

11 Some variables are considered over a period of time. Such analysis is called time-series.

12 According to the law of demand as the price for the good rises, the demand for it falls.

13 Price elasticity, the price/demand relationship, helps to set prices at the correct level in the given market for a particular time.

14 Some other factors apart from price affect demand, and that causes a shift in the demand curve.

Read the following text. Tick (ν) the statements below if they are true and cross (x) them if they are false. (20 points)

Most computers use floppy disks. Floppies conform to a standard and you can use them to carry data from one place to another. They are also very cheap, but they are slow and have a limited capacity.

Almost all desktop computers have hard disks. They are fast and can store much greater amounts of data than floppies, but they are fixed inside the computer and you cannot use them to transfer data.

You can move data from place to place using removable hard disks. They are almost as fast as fixed hard disks and also have high capacities, but they are relatively expensive. They do not all conform to one standard and they are not very common.

CD-ROM disks are very common and conform to a standard. They are removable and can hold about 640MB.They are also cheap to make. However, they are usually read-only. You cannot change the information on them. They are also slow compared to hard disks.

Magneto-optical disks are like CD-ROMs, but you can write data on to them. They are removable, have large capacities, and last for a long time, but they are expensive and do not all conform to one standard. For this reason they are not very common.

Magnetic tape is a cheap medium. You can use it to store very large amounts of data, but it does not allow random access. Every time you read or write a piece of data, you start at the beginning of the tape. Tape drives are slow. Therefore, it is only suitable for doing backups.

1. Floppies don’t conform to a standard and you can use them to carry data from one place to another.

2. Floppies are cheap and can store a large amount of data.

3. Almost all desktop computers have hard disks.

4. They are fast and removable.

5. You can move data from place to place using removable hard disks.

6. Removable hard disks do not all conform to one standard and they are not very common.

7. CD-ROM disks are very common and conform to a standard.

The work of bank centers around money and financial services

Virtually any actively involving money or advice about financial matters is undertaken by all the commercial banks. The immediate service offered by the bank is the receipt for deposit of coins, notes and cheques and (he cashing of cheques, through current accounts. Coins and notes in circulation have the stalus of "legal lender" lhat is to say they must be laken in payment of a debt although the extenl to which this applies in the case of coins is deliberately restricted for the sake of convenience.

The most common means of payment, particularly for significant sums of money, is the cheque since it is both safer and more convenient than using cash. However, it is not legal tender and creditors can refuse to accept it if they wish. Normally both national cheques and traveller's cheques arc readily negotiable if the bearer has some means of proving his identity and the creditor can be sure that the cheque will be «honoured». To assist the use of cheques banks now provide their customers with bankers cards which, when used in association with a cheque, will guarantee it up to a stated maximum. If a customer wishes to make payments of large amounts of money by cheque and is not known to the creditor, then he may obtain a «certified cheque» from his bank. Such a cheque is signed by the bank and therefore payment is guaranteed.

Those trading overseas, or in conditions where there may be a significant time lapse between sending out goods and their receipt by the customer, may use a Bill of Exchange as a means of payment. This is really a post dated cheque which assures the creditor payment but also gives the buyer opportunity to inspect the goods before the transaction is completed. Those whose credit standing is unknown may have to get the Bill «accepted» before a creditor will take it. Such a process guarantees payment and most work of this kind is undertaken by the merchant banks. Because Bills arc post dated creditors may have to wait some time for their money. They can overcome this problem by endorsing the Bill and then cither discounting it with a Discount House or a bank or passing it on to another trader in settlement of a debt of their own. By the time it comes to maturity a Bill may have passed through several hands and on each occasion it must be endorsed. The commercial banks participate in this activity in two ways: in part by lending money to the discount houses and in part by discounting bills for their own customers.

Read the text with a dictionary.
                                           PAPERLESS OFFICE
A paperless office is a work environment in which the use of paper is eliminated or greatly reduced. This is done by converting documents and other papers into digital form. Proponents claim that "going paperless" can save money, boost productivity, save space, make documentation and information sharing easier, keep personal information more secure, and help the environment.
The "paperless office" was a publicist's slogan, intended to describe the office of the future. The idea was that office automation would make paper redundant for routine tasks such as record-keeping and bookkeeping, and it came to prominence with the introduction of the personal computer. While the prediction of a PC on every desk was remarkably prophetic, the "paperless office" was not. Improvements in printers and photocopiers have made it much easier to reproduce documents in bulk, causing the worldwide use of office paper to more than double from 1980 to 2000. This has been attributed to the increased ease of document production and widespread use of electronic communication, which has resulted in users receiving large numbers of documents that are often printed out. However, since about 2000, the global use of office paper has leveled off and is now decreasing, which has been attributed to a generation shift; younger people print out less documents, and prefer to read them on a full-color interactive display screen.
The key aspect of the paperless office philosophy is the conversion of paper documents, photos, engineering plans, microfiche and all the other paper based systems to digital documents. Technologies that may be used for this include scanners, digital mail solutions, book copiers, wide format scanners (for engineering drawings), microfiche scanners, fax to PDF conversion, online post offices, multifunction printers and document management systems.
A major difficulty in "going paperless" is that much of a business's communication is with other businesses and individuals, as opposed to just being internal. Electronic communication requires both the sender and the recipient to have easy access to appropriate software and hardware. There may be costs and temporary productivity losses when converting to a paperless office. Government regulations and business policy may also slow down the change. Businesses may encounter technological difficulties such as file format compatibility, longevity of digital documents, system stability, and employees and clients not having appropriate technological skills.
b) True or false? Correct the false statements.
1. A paperless office is an office that has paper-based filing systems, which may
include filing cabinets, folders, shelves, all of which require maintenance,
equipment, and considerable space.
2. "Going paperless" means converting paper documents, photos, engineering plans, microfiche and all the other paper based systems to digital documents.
3. The conversion of paper documents to digital documents requires different
scanners, copiers, printers, and document management systems.
4. Improvements in printers and photocopiers have helped make paper redundant.
5. The idea of the "paperless office" was introduced by scientists.
6. The idea of the "paperless office" came with the introduction of the personal
computer.
7.  Technological difficulties such as file format compatibility, longevity of digital
documents, system stability boost the paperless office idea.
8. The "paperless office" requires that employees and clients should have appropriate
technological skills.
9. Converting to a paperless office can save money, boost productivity, save space.
10. "Going paperless" is easy, as it requires that communicating businesses should
have easy access to appropriate software and hardware.
11. The widespread use of electronic communication reduced the use of office paper
from 1980 to 2000 worldwide.
12. Younger people print out less documents than the older generation, they prefer to
read them on a full-color interactive display screen.
