Excel 2003:Exiting Spreadsheets

Anytime you need to leave your spreadsheet simply click on File in the menu bar, then click-on Exit. If you have not saved your spreadsheet, a reminder box will appear asking you to do so.


Retrieving Spreadsheets:
When you need to return to a spreadsheet, you first load Excel, as you did originally (Page 1). When Excel is on the screen, click-on File in the
menu bar then click-on Open.
The following Open menu screen will appear:


Click on the down arrow to the right of the Look in: box (Similar to the arrow in the Save in: box – see top arrow). Click-on the 3 ½ Floppy (A:), or the drive or folder you chose. Files saved on a disk or in a folder will appear in the box below. Click-on your file (MYBUDGET), and then click-on Open. Your file will open. You could also double-click quickly on the file to open it.

Also, if you have not done so already, move your cursor slowly over the "buttons" located below the menu bar. You will notice a little box appears that tells you what these buttons do. These little boxes are called Text Help boxes. Many of them will save you extra “clicks” by using them. Notice, that under File and Edit in the Menu bar, there are a small folder (Open) and a diskette (Save). Clicking-on them will take you directly to Open and Save.
