How to keep your project safe from virus attack and for posterity.

A flash drive can get contaminated and need to be formatted anytime.
God forbids this happens a day to your Defence. Will you start writing
Chapter 1 again?

You can keep your project safe, long enough for your grandchildren to
see it, by following these steps:

1. After typing your project (even if it is just Chapter 1 alone),
save it on your computer or flash drive.

2. Sign in to your email account.

3. Compose an email with the Microsoft Word document (your project) as
an attachment.

4. Send the email to your other email address.

5. Star the email or create a PROJECT folder/label for it. Move the
email into the folder or apply the label to it. This will ensure easy
future reference.

* In case your flash has to be formatted, take the following steps:

1. Sign in to your email account and go to that folder/label.

2. Open the particular email.

3. Beside the attachment, click SCAN AND DOWNLOAD and wait for the
Microsoft Word document to be downloaded into your computer.

4. To have the document in your flash again, alight (using CTRL
A),copy and paste the document to a new MS Word document which you can
save to your flash and continue any necessary editing.

* Whenever you have to make any correction, save the latest version
into your email as described above.

*Another advantage of this method is that you can email a copy to
your friends and relatives who need a guide for their projects without
telling them to travel to collect your flash drive or hard copy.
