Dumb question . . . saving spreadsheets
When I'm working on a worksheet/spreadsheet that has numerous tabs, if I save
on one of the spreadsheet/tabs, will it save the whole worksheet? Eg. If I change something on Sheet 1 and then go to Sheet 5 and change something, then I save on Sheet 5, will the changes on Sheet 1 also be saved? |

Dumb question . . . saving spreadsheets
Well, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing here. You refer to
the "whole worksheet" but I think you're really asking whether the whole workbook is saved when you hit the save button. If you have Sheet 1 active and you click the save button, then that *workbook* will be saved, including any modifications made to other worksheets in the workbook. However, other workbooks you have open will remain unaffected. Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

That raises an interesting, if rather academic, question: What is the definition of "spreadsheet", "workbook" and "worksheet". These are all terms we glibly use assuming the recipient knows what we (think we) know. My take on it (but I may be wrong) is - I have googled for an answer but there seems to be no consistent answers Spreadsheet / workbook - the whole file www.ncsu.edu/it/edu/excel_trng/preparing.html Spreadsheet / worksheet - the whole file www.ncsu.edu/it/edu/excel_trng/preparing.html Perhaps we shouldn't go so far as to ask whether these should be hyphenated!

A worksheet can't exist independently of a workbook. When you do a save, you
are saving the workBOOK, not any particular sheet, and all sheet are saved. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email address is on the web site) "willie091028" wrote in message ...

I don't think, at least within the world of Excel, there is any ambiguity between "worksheet" and "workbook", at least among people who know they're talking about. That said, I never use the word "spreadsheet" because it sounds to Lotus-like to my ears and because it could be construed as either a workbook or worksheet. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com (email address is on the web site) "Bill Ridgeway" wrote in message ...
