Yes?
Can you help me with the computer?
What's wrong?... Oh, spinning beachball of death I see.... What are you trying to do?
Print.
Print a document from Microsoft Word?
Uh-huh.
Did you save it before you tried to print?
I'm not sure.
What's the first rule of using Microsoft Word?
That it does not like me. That it is not my friend?

Save.
Before you print?
Save.
Before you print preview?
Save.
Before you globally change margins?
Save.
Before you reformat all the paragraphs?
Save.
Before you save?
