Recently, I've been using Google Spreadsheets, to help plan a family event. I created a file and shared it with a few people, and it's a quick and easy way for us to keep track of who's doing what.

最近，我一直在使用Google Spreadsheets来帮助安排家庭活动。 我创建了一个文件并与几个人共享，这是我们快速跟踪谁在做什么的一种简便方法。

Then it dawned on me that we're storing all this information online, with no backup. What happens if we can't get to that file, a few days before the event? Too horrible to even think about!

后来我想到，我们将所有这些信息在线存储，没有备份。 如果在活动开始前几天无法访问该文件，该怎么办？ 太可怕了，甚至无法考虑！

So, I copied everything from the Google Spreadsheet, and pasted it into Excel. Not too efficient, but at least I had an offline copy.

因此，我复制了Google Spreadsheet中的所有内容，并将其粘贴到Excel中。 效率不高，但是至少我有一个脱机副本。

将副本导出到Excel (Export a Copy to Excel)

After I had created the emergency backup file, I looked around to see what other options there are for making the backups.

创建紧急备份文件后，我环顾四周，以了解进行备份的其他方法。

The first thing I found was that I could export to Excel, when I had a Google Spreadsheet open.

我发现的第一件事是，当我打开Goog​​le Spreadsheet时，可以导出到Excel。

Click the File menu, then click Export, and click the .xls option.

单击文件菜单，然后单击导出，然后单击.xls选项。

In the dialog box that appears, to can click the Save option, then name the file and select a folder to store it in.

在出现的对话框中，要单击“保存”选项，然后命名文件并选择要存储在其中的文件夹。

将一个选定的文件另存为Excel (Save One Selected File as Excel)

When you're looking at the list of your Google Documents, you can add a check mark to select one Google Spreadsheet.

当您查看Google文档列表时，可以添加一个复选标记以选择一个 Google Spreadsheet。

Then, click More actions, and click Save as Excel. (If more than one file is selected, the list won't show the Save options.)

然后，单击“更多操作”，然后单击“另存为Excel”。 (如果选择了多个文件，列表将不会显示“保存”选项。)

下载所选文件 (Download Selected Files)

If you have lots of Google Documents, you might want to download and save more thane one file at a time.

如果您有很多Google文档，则可能一次要下载并保存多个文件。

To do this in Firefox, I installed GreaseMonkey, Google Docs Download script, and the DownThemAll add-on. That took a couple of minutes, and went very smoothly.

为此，我安装了GreaseMonkey ， Google Docs下载脚本和DownThemAll加载项。 那花了几分钟，而且进展非常顺利。

The script add a new menu, Download Your Documents, to the Google Documents menu bar.

该脚本将新菜单“下载您的文档”添加到Google文档菜单栏。

Select all the files that you want to download, then click Download Your Documents, and click as Microsoft Office files.

选择所有要下载的文件，然后单击“下载文档”，然后单击“作为Microsoft Office文件”。

A new web page appears, with a list of your selected files.

随即出现一个新网页，其中包含所选文件的列表。

In the Firefox menu bar, click Tools, then click DownThemAll! Tools, and click DownThemAll!...

在Firefox菜单栏中，单击“工具”，然后单击“ DownThemAll！”。 工具，然后单击DownThemAll！...。

In the DownThemAll dialog box, click All files, or select specific files to download.

在“ DownThemAll”对话框中，单击“所有文件”，或选择要下载的特定文件。

Click Start! to start the download.

点击开始！ 开始下载。
