1Jacob started typing a story about himself in DavkaWriter. When he went to exit, this is what he saw:
The box asked, Save changes to Untitled 1 before exiting?Since this was the first time he saved, he clicked Yes. He put it in his H drive, named it All About Me, and clicked Save.What should Jacob click? Look at the second picture for clues. Then click either Yes, No, or Cancel to test your answer:Then another box popped up. It looked like the one on the right. It asked, Save changes to Untitled 2 before exiting?Hmm, thats strange, Jacob thought. I thought I already said Yes.
YesCancelNo6If you are saving a picture for the first time, clicking File-Save will give you the exact same box as if you click File-Save As.This was not the reason Lily couldnt find her work.Look carefully at the picture for clues, and then try again.
Oops!Click here to go back and look for clues.
3Look again at the second picture. Untitled 2 is a blank page. Does he really want to save a blank page?Which of the remaining choices do you think is the best one?

7Spaces ARE allowed when naming a file.This was not the reason Lily couldnt find her work.Look carefully at the picture for clues, and then try again.
Oops!Click here to go back and look for clues.
4Jacob should choose No, because Untitled 2 is just a blank page. Jacob has no reason to save a blank page!Untitled 1, Untitled 2.even Untitled 16, are just names given to documents until they are saved and given a name. (Get it? UN-titledit doesnt have a title!)Different programs call untitled files by different names. For example, Microsoft Word calls them Document 1, 2, 3, and so on. PowerPoint calls them Presentation 1, 2, 3, and so on. Pixie, Paint, and DavkaWriter call them Untitled 1, 2, 3, and so on.
Correct!Click here to go to the next question.
8Clicking Cancel will just make the dialogue box disappear for now. When Jacob tries to exit again, the same box will pop up, asking him if he wants to save changes to Untitled 2.Look again at the second picture. Untitled 2 is a blank page. Which of the remaining choices do you think is the best one?
Oops!Click here to go back.
