Saving a Sheet

If you want to save a workbook, do one the following:

If you selected Save under the File1 menu and workbook already been saved, there is nothing else to do. EasySpreadsheet will automatically save your workbook to the same location, with the same name.

Otherwise, a Save Sheet box will pop up. If you have already saved the workbook, and want to save it again to the same location, with the same file name, simply click Save. For more saving options:

  1. Type the name of your workbook in the File name box.  EasySpreadsheet will provide a name for your workbook, such as 'Book1'. It is recommended to use a more unique name of your own choosing. If 'Book1' (or other given name) is already highlighted, there is no need to click on it with your mouse - simply start typing, and the highlighted 'Book1' (or other name) will disappear.

  2. Choose to save your workbook in another directory or folder by selecting one from the Save in box. EasySpreadsheet will normally try to save your file in the My Documents folder; however, you have the option of saving it in a different location. Move to other folders following standard Windows commands. Press the Up One Level folder-like icon to move up a level in the folder hierarchy. Or, press the down arrow in the Save In box to select another folder at that level, or to move around in the folder hierarchy.

In the Save In box, you can also switch from your main hard drive (usually C:\) to a floppy drive (usually A:\), or to a CD-ROM drive (usually D:\, E:\, or F:\). For example, to save a file on a floppy disk, insert the floppy disk into your computer, and use the Save In box to select your floppy drive (A:\).

  1. Choose the type of file that you wish to save your document as by selecting one from the Save as type box. EasySpreadsheet is capable of saving your worksheet as an *.ess file (E-press EasySpreadsheet File), an *.xls file (Microsoft Excel File), *.txt file (Tab Delimited Text File), a *.csv file (Comma Delimited File), an *.htm file, a *.zip file, or a *.pdf file.

EasySpreadsheet will usually be set to save your workbook as an *.ess file. You can, however, change the type of file your document will be saved as by selecting another type from the Save as type box.

  1. When you are ready to save your file, click the Save button.

 

Save As

You may want to save a file that you have already saved under a different name, or in another location.  You might retrieve a file from your disk that you want to modify, but still wish to keep the old file as is. If select Save from the File1 menu, your sheet will automatically be saved to the same file location, with the same file name. The old file will be overwritten. To prevent this from happening, you must Save As.  To do so:

A Save Sheet window will appear. The old file name will appear in the File Name box.  Simply type the new name in this box. You can select a new location from the Save In box. Then, click Save.
