MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft Excel 97 (non-SR-1) does not display an alert message under the
same circumstances. The following tables describe when Excel 97 SR-1 and Excel 97 SR-2 display balloon alert messages for the default save.
In the following tables, an "UnSaved" workbook is one that you have not
saved during the current session of Excel (for example, an unsaved new
workbook or a workbook that you have changed but have not saved). A "Saved"
workbook is one that you have saved during the current session. A workbook
is considered "dirty" if you have made any changes to it in the current
session.
