Excel 2003:Saving Spreadsheets

We have done quite a bit of work so now is a good time to save our spreadsheet. Point to File in the Menu Bar at the top of the spreadsheet. Point to Save As and click-on Save As. A Save As menu box appears (like the one below).
Notice in the upper left corner that there is a “box” to the right of Save In: with a down pointing arrow to the right. Click-on the arrow. This will show you all of the “drives” and “folders” where you may save your work.




When you see the drop-down list in the Save in: area, choose the drive where you want to save your file.We are going to save our file on the Local Disk (C:) – our hard drive, so we chose that drive in the image above (see top arrow).

To the right of File name:, delete the information (which is in the box) and type-in MYBUDGET (see lower left arrow). This is the name under which you are saving your file. (In the future you will choose logical names for your spreadsheets as you save them.) Now point to Save and click the left mouse button (see lower right arrow).
