If you have been working in a workbook and try to close it, Excel asks you whether you want to save the workbook before it closes. | TIP Program Window Make sure you click the Close button in the document window, not the program window. Otherwise, you'll close all the open workbooks in Excel. | TIP Available Buttons When Excel has no workbooks open, only a few buttons are available on the Standard toolbar. As soon as you create a new workbook or open a workbook, the buttons become available again. | |
