Brenda: I will make a note about the folders thing. Don't worry about the complexity thing. Just my old brain trying to keep up.  . You've done a great job teaching me about memory sticks. Don't under cut yourself on that. I will get more comfortable with all of this the more I do and the I learn. |
| Brenda: Good. Like I said SIX, you have been a big help. It's just that my brain has obviously rewired itself some over the years. It wasn't bad when I was younger but now. Yeah, all bets can be off. |
| 6ixStringJack: While you're asking them for help, you should try to see if they could walk you through creating your own folders and a bit more with copying and pasting documents. It really is pretty easy stuff and not nearly as complex as I probably make things sound when I'm typing out more than I probably should here just because I'm afraid I might miss a crucial step because I do this stuff all the time and take it for granted. I really want you to come out of this feeling not only safe that you have several backups, but so that you aren't afraid and you can do all of this stuff on your own down the road. |
| 6ixStringJack: No offense taken, Brenda. That's great if you can get some in-person assistance with it. It certainly helps with the frustrations we can both have when trying to do something that would be so much easier to train you how to do in-person than trying to convey back and forth while playing tag in the comment section here. |
| Brenda: I am trying. Please don't take this the wrong way but I have been my local library tech somethings. That was what that sentence should have read. Brain went away as I was typing. Apologises. |
| Brenda: I am trying. Please don't take this wrong way but I have also being asking my tech somethings. I am now at times a visual learner as well as written. So I have been doing both. But you, Mr. SIX have been a great help to me and I do appreciate it. Will let you know what happens this coming Sunday. |
| 6ixStringJack: Great Brenda. You seem to be getting the terms I'm making a point to emphasize down well too, so that's good. If everything went the way I think it did from what you're explaining to me, opening that copy should be really easy when you get to trying it. |
| 6ixStringJack: Oh, that's cute. You still have it. How many times have you masturbated to my glorious image while the site was down, Theodore? |

Brenda: It is progress for sure for me.  |
| Brenda: Okay to open on stick it opens in root folder and I left click double to find it. Okay. Fingers crossed that I did it right. Will check later in the week. |
| Brenda: I don't remember a noise but it could have made one and I think it did ask me a question. Sorry, I am fuzzy because I was just nervous. |
| Brenda: I got the stick on my task bar and I went to file explorer and desk top and looked for the last copy of my book in Word. I double clicked on it and it came up in Word. I went to file and opened Save As and then another window asked me to put in the title and then I hit save. Once it seemed finished I went to hidden icons and the stick image. Right clicked on it and it asked me what to do and I clicked on the eject. It came out smoothly. |
| 6ixStringJack: In any event. Congratulations, Brenda. I'm still not 100% sure exactly how far we've gotten just yet, but it sounds like some real progress has been made. |
| 6ixStringJack: If it opens to the root folder automatically and the book is there, that's great. All you have to do is double-click it (left-mouse button, remember) and it will open up in Word for you. You just have to remember that if you're opening it up from the stick and saving changes to it, those changes will not be automatically saved to your book that is on your computer. You would also have to save those changes there as well. But with multiple copies, you probably shouldn't do that. Until you learn to make more copies and change the file name reflecting the date of the copy, it's probably better that you are only actively working on one version and have older backups until you're confident in your new updates and you want to make them your new up-to-date copies. |
| 6ixStringJack: What happens when you enter your USB stick? Does it "make a noise/jingle"? Does it ask you what you want to do with the drive in a pop-up mesage? Does it automatically open File Explorer to what we would call the "Root Directory" of the USB drive, which is likely where you saved your book? Does it do nothing? Just curious, because there are ways to change the default which somebody before you may have done for you, or you may have knowingly or unknowingly "solidified" at one point over the years by giving your PC an affirmative action to take when you enter a USB stick without realizing it. |
| Brenda: Yeah, I did. Just followed my notes. Though I don't think I got my pictures. But as I said I now need to know how to access my book on the USB. |
| 6ixStringJack: Cool your jets, buddy. Whatever you think is urgent today is just going to be added to the heap of thousands of things you told everybody were urgent over the last decade or so. |
