   On the home screen, you need to find the Microsoft Office tile. Mine is located on the home screen. The icon is an orange background with a white three-dimensional square inside.

    Press on "save as..." now

    .

    You can enter the file name in the text box under "File name" by using the keypad. You will be able to delete the default name and enter a new one. The second option is "Save to" that allows you to choose the location where you are going to save this document.

12. 12
    Press down on the text box if you do not want to save the file to the default location

    .

    Three options will be shown: "phone", "SD card", and "OneDrive". One of these options will be written in blue, identifying that the option has already been selected. Choose the one that suits you.

    

    Was this step helpful? Yes | No| I need help
13. 13
    To save the document, press the "save" button located at the bottom of the screen

    .

    The icon is a large black rectangle with the word "save". If you are saving onto OneDrive, you need the Internet access to connect to the OneDrive cloud storage and upload the file. If you do not have the Internet access, you can save your document to your phone or to your SD card. Another way to save the document is to press the back button located under the screen. If you press the back button, the application will attempt to close itself and prompt you to save the document. It is a bit risky because you never know with the Microsoft Lumia 535 what exactly might happen. It is always better to go to the menu by pressing the three black dots in a line and save the Excel document directly rather than to save it when trying to exit the program.
