I have a pricing document in Excel Web app that has about 10 work sheets with it.  I have to create a new one each day, so in the past I have been just "Save As" and created a new doc with the same format and renamed it by day.  Where i travel I don't always have my hard drive, so I need a way to copy the previous days   excel web app document and "save as " a new doc.  I have figured out how to copy cells and info, but can not figure out how to copy the whole document from Excel web app, and paste and save as a new document in Excep Web App

    Hey Paul

    There is a "workaround" for what you want to do on WebApps. You might have to do 1 sheet at a time ( I didn't test multiple sheets at once).

    Open your existing file. Select your data to copy, right-click, select Copy.

    Use the Back on the browser to get back to your documents in Skydrive. Click on the Excel webapp icon, it will prompt for a file name. Name the file what you wish. Click on the sheet and cell where you want to start, Right-click and paste your data.

    Now you have your data in a new workbook.

    Like I said you may have to do this for each sheet...Not the prettiest way, but it works.

    Hope that helps...

    Unfortunately, there is no option available in Excel Web App to save the current document as a new Excel Web App document on SkyDrive. You will have to save it onto the hard drive if you need to save the whole document as a separate document.
