Spreadsheets can be saved in three ways and they are listed below. You can also save a file as a CSV file.
Click File and then select Save (or Save All or Save As).
From the toolbar
Click on the Save button 
on the Function bar. If the file has been saved and no subsequent changes have been made, this button is grayed-out and unselectable.
From the keyboard
Use the key combination Control+S.
If the spreadsheet has not been saved previously, then each of these actions will open the Save As dialog. Here you can specify the spreadsheet name and the location in which to save it.

- Choose File > Save As.

- In the File type list, select Text CSV and click Save. You may see the message box shown below. Click Keep Current Format.
