Hi Debbie,
I understand your frustration with the auto-fill feature in the Save As dialog box. This is actually a Microsoft feature that is designed to help you save time by suggesting file names based on what you've typed before or what's already in the folder you're saving to. However, I can definitely help you turn this feature off if you'd like.
Here's how to disable the auto-fill feature in the Save As dialog box:
- Open Excel and click on the File tab in the ribbon.
- Click on Options at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
- In the Excel Options dialog box, click on the Save tab.
- Under the Save workbooks section, you'll see a checkbox labeled "Don't show the Backstage when opening or saving files." Make sure this box is unchecked.
- Click on the OK button to save your changes and close the Excel Options dialog box.
- Now when you go to save a file using the Save As dialog box, you should no longer see the auto-fill feature.
Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with.
