Introduction

In case you want to stop working on your stack and come back to it

later, you need to know how to save your stack. When you do come back to select your stack you must know where it is located when you access Open an Existing Stack.

Saving Your Stack for the First Time

Usually if you have already saved your stack, you can do a quick save by clicking on Save Stack and it will save your save the stack to the location you first saved the stack. But, the first time you save your stack, you must browse for a location to save the stack. The Save Stack As option will allow you to navigate to where you want to store your stack. The Save Stack option will only save the stack to the location where it is stored.

To save your stack, you must go to FILE>SAVE or FILE>SAVE AS.

Notice you go to the FILE menu to:

start a new stack
open an existing stack
save stack or save stack as
import a background
add clip art
select print options from this toolbar menu item.
Create a slide show with your cards
Exit the program

Finding Where You Want to Save Your Stack

There is a folder within the HyperStudio Library that is titled " My Stacks" and you can always put your stacks in there. If not create a folder where ever you wish, name it, and be sure to remember where it is located for when you want to go back and open the existing stack to continue working on the stack.

After have clicked on save stack or save stack as, a dialogue box will open up so you can browse for the place you want to save your stack(s) to. Notice in the image below that the file name says Untitled. You must name the stack where it says File name.

You can always create a new folder and name it something that will help you remember that your stacks are stored there. I named my folder Lesson Stacks.

Name Your Stack

The name of your stack should be based on the lesson subject or purpose for the stack. Stick to short names if possible. Also it is best to use all small letters in the name of the stack and no spaces between the words for any file that may be uploaded to the Web. Use the underscore symbol if you need to separate the words, as so "_" .
