Well I’ve learned how to do a few things and I’m trying to incorporate a story into the program just to learn and get comfortable with the software and the process.
My basic learning style is know what you want to do and figure out how to do it. Works somewhat, but I’ve had the manual to refer back to in many instances. One thing in particular I don’t seem to grasp is the save feature for the file, and then pulling it back open again to work on it at a later time. I keep losing it or can’t open it so it’s back to square one (literally). But that’s okay, that’s reinforcement.
More later.

Saving in Storyspace is very boring and standard; files are saved with the usual standard file dialog.
You probably want to make a folder for your writing project, and always save into that folder. And don’t forget to make (and keep!) backups!
Oh, I’ve got it in three places and save constantly now.
The problem was my own fault–I forgot that when you “save as” which I did immediately after the “save” I would continue working on what I thought was the original file. So I was confusing the two, having the same name on them didn’t help.
