• Thanks for that advice. The current laptop froze and she couldn’t get the docs back. I’m presuming Dropbox auto backs up as you type?

  • Uh get her to use google apps or some such cloud app. Forget MS word and remembering to save files, this isn’t the 1950’s

  • I don’t really understand your point. I’m used to MS Word and I think that’s what they use in school. There is some sort of discounted MS Office available through the school so I would have thought that’s what she needs to use.
    To be fair, I’m old and not very computer literate.

    To be fair, office will happily save to the cloud and if you try to manually save a doc then the app reminds you that versioning and saving are automatic and tells you there's no need to save. You can use the web editor, iOS, MacOS, Android, Windows all changeably and they'll happily function as you'd expect.
    Lots of MS isn't from the 1950s anymore.

  • Or use Word and Onedrive which does the same.

    My experience of using full fat office and onedrive is better than Google docs although may be overkill for some.
