116 Saving the Data Saving the Data
One of the most important tasks you ever perform when building your spreadsheet is saving your work! Excel offers three different ways to invoke the Save command:
✦ Select the Save button on the Quick Access toolbar (the one with the disk icon).
✦ Press Ctrl+S or F12.
✦ Select File➪Save.
To encourage frequent saving on your part, Excel provides you with a Save button on the Quick Access toolbar (the one with the picture of a floppy disk, the very first on the toolbar). You don’t even have to take the time and trouble to choose the Save command from the File pull-down menu or even press Ctrl+S; you can simply click this button whenever you want to save new work on disk.
When you click the Save button, press Ctrl+S, or click File➪Save for the first time, Excel displays the Save As screen in the Backstage view similar to
the one shown in Figure 1-16. By default, Excel 2013 selects the Documents folder on your SkyDrive as the place to which to save the new workbook.
