Start menu, the Windows search field appears

at the bottom and the All Programs choice appears

immediately above the search field. Once you select

All Programs, Windows displays folders that contain the

programs installed on your computer. The shortcut to

start Excel appears in the Microsoft Office folder. After

you select Excel from the Microsoft Office folder

several times, it will appear on the Start menu in the

list of recently opened programs. You can select

Microsoft Office Excel 2010 from that list to open the

program. If you use Excel regularly, you may want to

pin Excel to the Start menu or Windows taskbar or

create a shortcut for it so you can open it more quickly.

You can close Excel by using a command in Backstage

view or you can use the Close button in the

behavior when you close the program depends on the

method you choose to close the program, the number

of workbooks you have open, and whether you have

made changes to any of the open workbooks.
