Saving your workbook
Until now, everything that you’ve done has occurred in your computer’s memory. If the
power should fail, all may be lost—unless Excel’s AutoRecover feature happened to kick in.
It’s time to save your work to a file on your hard drive.
- Click the Save button on the Quick Access toolbar. (This button looks like an
old-fashioned floppy disk, popular in the previous century.) Because the work-
book hasn’t been saved yet and still has its default name, Excel responds with
a Backstage screen that lets you choose the location for the workbook file. The
Backstage screen lets you save the file to an online location or to your local
computer. - Click Browse. Excel displays the Save As dialog box.
