All right.
We're still in module 1 and I want to go ahead
and wrap up this particular module with Section 7 and talk to you a little bit about the backstage view. The backstage view is an area that you can go into where you've got a lot of different options. Like if you wanted to save this file or if you want to create a new one or even if you wanted to go and change some of the options in Excel. you'd be able to do those things in the backstage view. Let's flip over to Excel and I will show you how the backstage view works. We are looking at the tabs across the top. You'll notice a very first one says file by clicking on file. that's going to take you into what we call the backstage view. In the backstage view, You'll notice it automatically defaults to the open option. This is where you would go if you wanted to open an existing file, you will be able to look through these different places here or browse your computer for that particular file. You would see any workbooks You've already created here. You could actually double click and open one if you'd like Or you can look through the folders and find a file that you want.
above open is the new option. If you wanted to create a
brand new workbook. You could come in here and choose the blank workbook or you'd be able to look at some of the templates that are in Excel and you'll see there are a lot of different calendars and budgets and different things like that. They're great ways to start and that way you don't have to set the whole thing up from scratch.
You have some save options that we'll be talking about
over in module 3. you have the ability to print, you can actually share this file with some other people. If you'd like, you can export this, you can publish this or you can close this file. If you close the file, you're not closing Excel just this particular file that you're working on. There's also some other options in the bottom and I want you to notice the one that says options because that's where you're going to be able to go to change the options that are inaccessible and we'll be doing a lot of that in a later module. But right now I just want you to know that if you click the file tab at the top this throws you into the backstage view to get out of it. Just click this arrow that points to the left and you're back in your workbook. Well that's going to wrap up module one and that's giving you a quick overview of the backstage view. What I'd like to do is actually go ahead and get you started on creating some new workbooks. Let's go ahead and move over to module 2.
