Closing

Closing your workbooks when you have finished with them can be done in several ways.
The easiest way is to select (File > Close) or by using the shortcut key (Ctrl + W).
You can also close the active workbook by clicking on the icon on the left of the Menu Bar.

An alternative way to close the active workbook is to press the black cross on the control menu in the top right hand corner of the Menu Bar.

You will be prompted to save the changes when you close a workbook that has been changed since it was last saved.
If you close Excel when there are workbooks open, a dialog box will be displayed for each workbook that has had changes made to it.
