When does Word and Excel save files?

[Bokkie]

I noticed that when I created a new document or workbook, the changes to the existing one seem to save automatically? I'd have thought the behaviour would have been the same as the desktop, namely the ppc would prompt me to save the changes? I find this a bit confusing.

I guess these are dork questions but is there a good ppc book out there that'll take me through the ppc environment and explain things?

You can only open 1 spreadsheet or Word document at a time, so everytime you click OK, it will automatically save file for you. If you are in the middle of document, and you choose to creat new document, a popup window wil prompt you with choices including Save As.

That makes sense AD. I remember being prompted once when opening a new document but when I was not prompted, maybe that's because I saved as... or never changed the document to begin with. Duh?
