the Save As dialog box and then click the New Folder button in the Save As

Spreadsheets folder inside the My Documents folder) as the folder name in the
Name text box of the New Folder dialog box and select OK.

3. Replace Book1.xls in the Name text box by typing Spring Furniture Sale and
then clicking the Save button.

Excel (File➪Exit or Alt+F4) — don’t save your changes to the Hourly Wages1
