We all dream of a “magic” button that, when pressed, would solve all our problems. Alas, she is not there yet.
However, in the computer world, they have made sure that we can quickly and easily store any amount of a wide variety of information.
Texts, pages, pictures, photographs, calculations, reports, websites - this and much more can be easily kept as a keepsake with a simple “save” button.
Where to look for this miracle button? Each case has its own instructions!
Here is a user looking at the keyboard and thinking: “Interesting, huh? what is shown on the “save” button icon? The answer is simple - nothing! There is no beautiful and single “save” button. But, stop! There is no need to be upset.
There are analogues and convenient keyboard shortcuts that are easy to find and easy to remember:
- Simultaneous pressing of “Ctrl” + “S/ы”. Suitable for any text documents, most standard programs and browsers. Press easily and quickly with two fingers of the left hand.
- The button above the standard letter series or number block is “PrtScr”. This is a quick "save" button for any information on your computer screen. PrtScr takes a photo of the screen and easily displays the result as an image.
It is important to understand that after clicking on PrintScreen, you need to go to any editor - be it graphic or text - and open the saved image.
To open, you need to use the “Paste” function, which can be easily found in a small menu when you right-click on the screen, or activate it with another key combination – “Ctrl” + “V/M”.
3.Miracle button F12. It will appeal to advanced users who not only need to save a document, but also make a later copy of it. F12 performs the "Save As..." function and is ready to either ensure the safety of a completely new, unnamed document, or make a duplicate of an existing one, but under a different name. 
What does the “Save Page” button look like in a browser?
- For further study in the absence of the Internet;
- To return to it later if you have access to the World Wide Web.
Each goal has its own possibilities, but again you will need the magic “save page” button! And she’s gone again!
We solve problems sequentially, but the principles of operation will be approximately the same for all browsers, so you won’t have to worry about searching for a saving function in Opera, Mozilla, Chrome or somewhere else.
Explorer bookmarks 
Firefox - To ensure the safety of the page for subsequent viewing, you need to find in the line where the page address (Url) is indicated "asterisk" in Chrome– in the browser Opera it will be “heart”– and click on this symbol. When hovered over with the mouse, the icon may show different names: “add page to bookmarks”, “add to favorites or reading list”. It doesn't matter. The essence of all such symbols is the same.
Saving bookmarks in Chrome 
Bookmarks in Opera When clicked, a menu will be displayed where the storage location will be specified and when you click on “done” the selected page will move to a safe place.
Essentially this is a bookmark, but that’s what we need. To now launch the saved site, simply search for the name you want on home page browser: in the top menu bar, as a large icon, or in another place where the word “bookmarks” appears.
The paths are identical to saving the document, that is, from the keyboard:
- Combination “Ctrl” + “S/ы” with the appearance of a window and clarification of the storage location.
- “PrtScr” key for photographing a page and then inserting it into any editor or document.
- "Save As..." function. It is launched either from a menu called up with the right mouse button, or by clicking on this phrase in the browser menu. The browser menu is most often encrypted with three vertical dots, when clicked on, a rather large list opens different functions and opportunities.
“Save” buttons in Word, Corel, Excel
The most important thing for the user is to figure out where the “save” button is in Word, Excel, and standard work programs. For graphics lovers, you will have to master the specifics of Corel, Photoshop, and their analogues. Believe me, it's not difficult!
- Floppy disk – “information storage”. Elementary.
- The “save” button in Corel has a similar appearance.
Knowledge of the following points will help ensure the safety of the created document, file, image:
- "Save" or "Save As...". You can find these function lines in the menu. It opens either by clicking on “File” in the top field of the open program window, or through the “Office” button, which looks like different-sized colored squares in the upper left corner of the document latest versions Word and Excel.
- "Export". A typical function for image editors that allows you to save created images in the most different formats. In short: when you click on “Export,” a window appears for specifying saving parameters. Then “ok” and you’re done!
Works great in office and graphics programs combinations “Ctrl” + “S/ы” and F12.
What should I do and why is the “Save” button missing or inactive?
And now here's the riddle: save button doesn't work. What to do? The situation is quite typical - especially for Corel Draw programs installed using demo versions or through pirated software.
It is best to solve such problems preventively, that is, use licensed programs and don’t worry about failures.
But since the problem already exists, we will have to deal with it.
There is an interesting way to do this:
1.Add to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts .
0.0.0.0 apps.corel.com
0.0.0.0 mc.corel.com
corel.com
2.Delete the folder.
for Win 7-10
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Corel\Messages
for WinXP
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Corel\Messages
Judging by the reviews of those in similar trouble, the recipe is effective and helps solve problems with preservation.
In 1C, such difficulties are removed by adjusting access rights for a specific user. The way is simple: “Service” - “Users” - “Setting up additional user rights”.
There, select the employee who has problems with the visibility of the save buttons, and put a checkmark in his rights in the table editing line. And everything works again.
It turns out that the “magic” save button still exists on computers, laptops, programs and browsers. Of course, you need to find it first, but with the help of all the instructions described, it’s unlikely to be difficult anymore!
Hot keys are a combination of two or three keys on the keyboard that allows you to quickly perform a specific action. There is no need to use a mouse and there is no need to call up a menu.
There are many lists of hotkeys: for Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac, for Photoshop, for Word, AutoCAD, etc. But not all computer users use them.
Why do we need hotkeys if there are? Anything can happen: the mouse may break, and wireless mouse- the battery is dead.
Sometimes there are problems with software when connecting a new mouse, but the old one has already “decided to live a long time”. And the touchpad can fail, and some people simply don’t know how to handle it correctly, having gotten used to clicking with the mouse.
When you need to do something urgently, and the mouse is useless, knowledge of keyboard shortcuts can come in very handy. In addition, using them, you can significantly increase productivity when working on a computer.
Here are the ten most used combinations that you can also successfully use:
1 . Many people probably know these combinations. Hotkeys Copy:
Ctrl+C or
They are needed to copy a selected piece of text as follows:
- First, select the text (or picture, table).
- Then press the Ctrl key and, without releasing it, simultaneously press the key with the letter C (in short it is written like this: Ctrl + C).
- We release the keys, now the selected fragment is copied to the clipboard (in RAM computer).
The Copy procedure does not appear externally on the computer screen. To “get” from the computer memory what we placed there using the Copy hotkeys:
- you need to place the cursor in the place where you want to place the copied fragment, and
- Press the hotkeys Paste: Ctrl + V.
What keyboard shortcut can you use to copy text or objects to the clipboard?
For this there are hotkeys Copy: Ctrl + C and Paste: Ctrl + V. They can be called a sweet couple. They are most often used in one combination, that is, first they copy the selected fragment using Ctrl + C, then immediately paste it using the Ctrl + V keys.
Another sweet pair you can use to Copy Paste is Ctrl + Insert and Shift + Insert. Here, as they say, it's a matter of taste.
2. Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert – hotkeys Insert text or object copied to the clipboard.
3. Ctrl + Z And Ctrl+Y- Hotkeys Cancel.
Using these commands, you can undo any changes, for example, if you accidentally cut or deleted text.
To cancel multiple latest changes, you need to press one of these combinations (Ctrl + Z, or Ctrl + Y) several times.
Ctrl + X – Hotkeys Cut
This combination allows you to cut out what you need and at the same time put it on the clipboard. Then you can paste the cut into the desired place.
4. Ctrl + F- Hotkeys Search.
A very useful “couple” of keys that opens the search bar in almost any program or browser.
Sometimes Ctrl + F is also called the Find hotkey.
5. Alt + Tab- Hotkeys switch windows.
Convenient for quickly switching between windows open source software. If this is new to you, just try it. There is a chance that you will prefer this method to your usual mouse.
If you add Shift to these combinations (you get Shift+ Alt+ Tab), you will move to reverse direction, that is, you can return to the program in which you were in the previous step.
Ctrl+Tab– hotkeys for switching tabs. With their help, you can quickly navigate between tabs in
6. Ctrl + Backspace- Hotkeys Delete. They will save a lot of time if you need to quickly delete a word while typing. These keyboard shortcuts do not work in Notepad, but they work fine in Word.
We type a word, place the cursor immediately after the word and then, if the word needs to be deleted, simply press Ctrl + Backspace. In this case, Word will delete the entire word to the left of the cursor.
7. Ctrl + S- Hotkeys Save. They are used to quickly save a file in many programs. Use it if you are working on something important, for example, when your laptop battery runs out.
8. Crtl + Home or Crtl+End moves the cursor to the begining or end of document respectively.
Page navigation keys Page Up(up) and Page Down(down) can replace the scroll bar.
9. Crtl + P- Hotkeys Seal.
Used to open the preview window current page in a browser or to call the document print window in text editors.

Hotkeys
We can’t do without a keyboard; we use it to type text, but not only that, you can use the keyboard to control the computer. It happens that the mouse does not work, then the keyboard will come to the rescue.
When you work with documents, you will probably navigate through them using the keyboard arrows or buttons PageUp(scroll up the page) and PageDown(page down).
- To delete files, it is more convenient to use the key Del.
- Menu, in which all programs installed on the computer live, is easier to call using special button with the Windows logo (four-color flag).
However, it is possible that this is a matter of taste... But there are cases when using a keyboard is much easier. For example, it is more convenient to switch the text input language (from Russian to English and vice versa) using the keyboard. Windows suggests using the combination Alt keys and Shift, which is not very convenient... But then, install the miracle program Punto Switcher on your computer. you can switch between languages with one single key Ctrl. In addition, Punto can independently correct words typed in the wrong layout, turning rubbish like cby)
