CHAPTER 6
Copying Documents and Disks
In this chapter you will learn to make copies of your documents and disks.
Copying is important in that it allows you to do several important tasks:
- Make backup versions of your documents that you can store for safekeeping.
- Create documents that you can use as templates or form letters on which to
base a series of similar documents.
- Install new application programs on your hard disk.
The techniques for doing these tasks are described in this chapter.
