Saving to a flash drive

[pcchallenged]

I know the answer to this question is probably very obvious but for some of us, computer knowledge does not come easy. So here goes... I have a spreadsheet on a flash drive and I would like to add data to it and save the data to the flash drive but not to the computer. (It's a shared computer) Can I work just off the flash drive and save the files just on the flash drive and not on the computer? How do I do this? I'm using a laptop with Windows 7 and I have a Sandisk Cruzer.

It will show up. Goto explorer / right click start/ windows explorer it will be there.
Look at the name. for usb. It will be there for office or what ever. Ya have to recognize it.

When you plug in a flash drive it will appear as a drive in windows Explorer which may or may not contain folders and within those folders your data files such as the spreadsheet you want to edit. If you navigate to that spreadsheet on the flashdrive and double-click it will open up in Excel. When you click on Save from within Excel, it will be saved to the same location on the flashdrive.

Ok, thank you. You answered my question. I had thought before that it was also saving it on my computer.
