If, by any mischance, the computer crashes, the file is stored in
my computer/c drive/program files/Book Designer/BD.
In my opinion it is always a good idea to make a Book Designer book as well as any other version. Then it is easily retrievable if you ever want to make corrections, or have a need to make a book in another format.

And I might add this advice:
Definitely, definitely, definitely,
MOVE the "
Open Empty File" icon (which will
DELETE what you're working on!)
AWAY from the "
Save Current File" icon.)
I lost 2 files about 1 year ago, before I got smart....Argghghghggh
