This Excel 2007 tutorial here can really help you to save plenty of your precious time when using the program. Here are the tips:



Tip 1: Always name your workbook and save it to a location that you will be able to find and open it later.



When saving the workbook, you need to give a meaningful, descriptive file name that can represent the contents of the workbook. If you never save the workbook, you will be unable to view the workbook in the future.



Also, you must aware the location (folder) where you saved the file because once saved, you may need to re-open the file for viewing or editing.





Tip 2: You should know the different between Save and Save As when saving your workbook.



The Save As command will ask you – where to save the file as well as the file name – every time you try to save a file.



The Save command will only ask you on the first time you save a file. If you open an old file, it will save to the location where you open the file with the same file name.
