The Save option may be used when you are saving a workbook for the first time, or when you are updating a workbook and simply want to replace the original version with the modified version. If you wish to change the workbook’s name, location, or file type, use the Save As option. The Save As lesson link is on the list in the upper right hand corner of this page.
If you are saving a file for the first time:
- Navigate to the appropriate location for the file.
- Choose the appropriate file type for this spreadsheet from the Format box. (Note: if you just click Save, the file will save as the file type you previously chose. If you make no file type selection, the file will save as an Excel 2008 workbook).
