While you’re working in Excel, you can create a new (empty) workbook at any time. Excel pro-
vides two ways to create a new workbook:l (^) Choose File ➪ New, which displays a screen like the one shown see Figure 7.1. This
screen lets you create a blank workbook, a workbook based on a template, or a workbook
based on an existing workbook. To create a new blank workbook, select Blank Workbook
and then click the Create button.
l (^) Press Ctrl+N. This shortcut is the fastest way to start a new workbook if you’re not using a
template.
