Opening a new workbook
Use of Control Keys
A third option for opening a new workbook is by using a pre-defined control character and activating a specific software option. Pressing the Control Key and the letter N (Ctrl+N) at the same time will open a new spreadsheet. Ctrl+O will open an existing file.
Microsoft Excel can be opened by double-clicking on the program icon. Excel opens a blank workbook with a Microsoft “Getting Started” dialog box [1] on the right-hand side. From the “Getting Started” menu you may open an existing Excel file or create a new workbook. An alternative approach is to click on the File drop-down menu and select Open or New [2]. Select Open for an existing file, or select New for a blank workbook. Microsoft provides options throughout their software programs multiple options for accomplishing the same results. Explore the options to find the one most comfortable for you.
