Saving and Closing an Excel Workbook

There’s nothing more frustrating than losing a few minutes or even hours of work because you forgot to save your file. When you close your workbook, Excel checks to see whether it has changed since the last time you saved it. If it hasn’t been saved, you’ll be asked whether you want to save your workbook before you close it. If you want to save multiple versions of the same workbook, you can also create a copy of your file by saving it with a different name. Also, if you usually open workbooks that are saved in folders other than My Documents, you can change the folder that Excel displays by default in the Open and Save As dialog boxes.
