Until now, everything you’ve done has occurred in your computer’s memory. If the power should fail, all may be lost—unless Excel’s AutoRecover feature happened to kick in. It’s time to save your work to a file on your hard drive.

1. Click the Save button on the Quick Access Toolbar. (This button looks like an old-fashioned floppy disk.) Because the workbook hasn’t been saved yet and still has its default name, Excel responds with the Save As dialog box.
2. In the box labeled File Name, enter a name such as Monthly Sales Projection, and then click Save or press Enter. Excel saves the workbook as a file. The workbook remains open so that you can work with it some more.

By default, Excel saves a copy of your work automatically every 10 minutes. To adjust this setting (or turn it off), use the Save tab of the Excel Options dialog box. To display this dialog box, choose Office Button?Excel Options. However, you should never rely on Excel’s AutoRecover feature.

Saving your work frequently is a good idea. If you’ve followed along, you may have realized that creating this workbook was not at all difficult. But, of
course, you’ve barely scratched the surface. The remainder of this book will cover these tasks (and many, many more) in much greater detail.
