Default Progress bar during workbook save

Just to add, whether you knew how many "blocks" have been saved or not, Save
is a single command and you would not be able to get control back to update
your progress bar (until the command is completed). At that point, the need
has passed.

Hello Craig,

Since you don't control the save process, it is impossible to know
which block of n blocks total has been saved. You might want to display
a animation instead. This at least let's the user know the computer is
processing and not hung up (not entirely true I know). Just a
suggestion.

Sincerely,
Leith Ross
