Finishing Excel

Instructions: You will use the Exit command from the File menu.

Comments: You should always quit any computer program when you have finished your session. Never switch off the computer when Excel is still running unless absolutely necessary as this will corrupt your spreadsheet files. Also never leave a computer whilst you are still logged on to it as others may use your Novell account and could potentially damage your files.

Activity 11.1 After you have finished your Excel document should look something like this:

Activity 11.2 Select the Exit option from the File menu, as shown in the diagram. Excel will display a dialogue box which asks you if you want to save your document before it lets you quit.

In the dialogue box click either <Yes> or <No> depending on whether you want the changes saved. Once you have done that Excel will quit. If you click on <Cancel> you will be returned to your unsaved spreadsheet to continue working.
