Create, Open, and Save Workbooks
Understanding file terms
The File menu contains all of the operations that we'll discuss in this lesson: New, Open, Close, Save, and Save As.
New
This is used to create a new workbook.
Open
This is used to open an existing file from a floppy disk or hard drive of your computer.
Close
This is used to close a spreadsheet.
Save As
This is used to save a new file for the first time or to save an existing file with a different name.
Save
This is used to save a file that has had changes made to it. If you close the workbook without saving it, any changes that were made will be lost.
