No "Save" Option in Excel. At All.

I just bought a new Lenovo Android tablet. I use Excel on my phone just fine, but a larger screen is helpful.

I open a file, either new or existing, and when I want to save what I've done I go to the File Tab. But there's only 1 option there: Open. No Save as, no Save a copy, not even a close option. Just a short list of locations where I can open a file from. So, what do I do? See screenshot. Thanks in advance!

This is exactly what appears when I press the File Tab:

    Dear B1ackBe1tMatt

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community, we are glad to assist you.

    We understand that you are experiencing an issue with Excel displaying abnormally in your tablet, and in order to better assist you, we need to confirm some information with you.

    We've looked at the interface in an Android tablet and can we ask you that after clicking on the file, this part in the red box is completely missing right?

    Are there any additional setting options in the whole interface? You can check to see if there is a save icon in the upper right corner of the entire interface.

    Since the display of "Open" is different between the two interfaces, we need to check whether the overall display of Excel on Lenovo's tablet is the same as that on other Android devices. If you can, please take a screenshot of the complete Excel interface and share it with us, for example, the display interface after opening Excel, and the display interface after opening any file.

    Also, what channel did you download Office through? Was it the Play store?

    If not, you can re-download Office through the Play Store to see the interface displayed.

    So please reply and share more specific information with us, I look forward to hearing from you.
