Saving Your Spreadsheet

Saving your spreadsheet is just like saving your text documents, as you learned in Hour 7. The relevant menu items on the File menu are the same for both text documents and spreadsheets.

As soon as you start a new spreadsheet, choose the Save As item from the File menu. The Save As dialog box is shown in Figure 13.6; notice that StarCalc is automatically chosen as the format in which to save.

The Save As dialog box for a spreadsheet uses the StarCalc format.

Select a directory, if necessary, using the file/directory browsing window; enter a filename for the spreadsheet.

Tip - Remember, filenames in Linux can be long and can include spaces and most other special characters.


When you press OK, the file is saved. After giving a name to a document the first time you save it, you can update the document on the hard disk by pressing Ctrl+S at any time, or by choosing Save from the File menu.

Tip - You can also click on the disk icon on the Function toolbar to save the current spreadsheet. If the disk icon is gray (disabled), no changes have been made in your spreadsheet since it was last saved (or since it was created).


When you save your spreadsheet, all the sheets of the spreadsheet are saved into a single file.
