5.18.3 Starting with a New Sheet

   

The Close option on the File menu clears all data and formatting from the current spreadsheet window and resets all defaults to those that were in effect at the start of the NExS session. If the data in the sheet has changed since it was last saved, you are prompted to select whether to save or discard the sheet before closing. Once the current sheet has been closed and the window reset, you may begin a new spreadsheet.

The New option on the File menu starts a new instance of NExS without closing the current sheet. Use this option if you wish to view or manipulate multiple spreadsheets simultaneously.

To close the current spreadsheet and reset the spreadsheet window:

  1. Select Close from the File menu. If you made changes to the active spreadsheet, NExS displays the Warning!!! dialog box as shown in Figure 5.6.

    1. To save the changed version, click the Save button. NExS saves the new version (possibly overwriting a previous version), and clears the spreadsheet.

    2. To discard your changes and preserve the spreadsheet on disk, click Discard. NExS discards the version on screen and clears the spreadsheet.

    3. To cancel the Close operation, click Cancel. NExS returns to the active spreadsheet.

To start a new spreadsheet without closing the current spreadsheet:

  1. Select New from the File menu. A new instance of NExS will be started momentarily. The current spreadsheet window is unaffected.
