Is there a way to return to
working in Excel without
making any selections in
Backstage view?
Yes. You can click File
again or you can press Esc.
Either action returns you to
the workbook that was
open when you clicked File
to display Backstage view.
And although you might
be tempted to click Exit,
resist the temptation
because clicking Exit closes
Excel completely.
What happens if I click the
check box at the bottom of
the list of Recent
Workbooks?
If you click the Quickly
access this number of
Recent Workbooks check
box, Excel displays — just
above Info in the left
column — the names of
the last four files you
opened. You can change
the number from 4 to any
number between 1 and
20. As you increase the
number, you also increase
the space required to view
the list, and Excel adds
scroll bars to the middle
and left sides of the screen.
When I click Recent, Recent
Places appears on the
far-right side of the screen.
What information is here?
The Recent Places list
displays locations from
which you recently opened
Excel files. When you click
a Recent Place, Excel
displays the dialog box you
use to open workbooks
and automatically navigates
to the location you clicked.
What is Recover Unsaved
Workbooks?
Excel saves copies of
workbooks you do not
save, and you can open
these workbooks. For
more, see Chapter 2.
3 Click an option in the
left column.
This example shows
the results of clicking
Save & Send.
•
These commands help
you share Excel
workbooks.
•
Clicking buttons in the
Save & Send column
changes the
information that
appears here.
4 Repeat step 2 until you
find the command
you want to use.
This example shows
the results of clicking
Recent, which by
default displays the last
20 workbooks opened.
