3.3 Saving the Spreadsheet

  The Save and Save As... operations are used to save your spreadsheet out to disk. When a file is saved, all of its current characteristics, including window size, window location, and scrolling position within the file are preserved as a snapshot.


Refer to section 3.4, Naming the Spreadsheet, for details about the conventions governing spreadsheet names.

To save a spreadsheet that has not yet been named:

  1. Select Save As... from the File menu. NExS displays the Save Sheet dialog box as shown in Figure 3.2.
  2. Select the type of spreadsheet file you wish to save: .xs3, .wk1, .wks, or .xls.
  3. Enter the name of your file in the Selection area of the dialog. Alternatively, use the Files display and select the filename there.
  4. Click OK or press [Return]. To cancel the operation, click Cancel.
To save a spreadsheet that has already been named:
  1. Display the File menu from the menu bar.
  2. Select Save from the File menu. NExS saves the sheet using the current name and displays a message on the Message Line.
The Save and Save As... operations do not remove your spreadsheet from memory, so you can continue to make changes to it after saving. You should, in fact, save your work periodically during a session to minimize the risk of losing work if the computer system is interrupted for any reason.
