Save the macro in your Personal workbook, assign it to the Quick Access Toolbar or a shortcut key, and you can call it up as often as you like. It saves all the workbooks that are open, except those that are read-only or hidden.

As usual, Allen, your post helped me. Thank you! I should mention though that this macro crashes when there are 2 instances of the same workbook open (View > New Window). Thanks, again!

Up until Windows 10 and whatever version of excel I'm using, I just clicked on the cross on top-right corner and chose "Save all" - now its disappeared.

@ Doug
Allen's code is like one of my basic tool-kit Subs, included in every project and works until, tada!, someone uses a New Window.
Try this. It uses the Application.Window object fin the For...Next and Window.Parent is the workbook. It worked in my tests.
Sub SaveAll()
Dim Wkb As Workbook
Dim win As Window
For Each win In Application.Windows
If Not win.Parent.ReadOnly And win.Visible Then
win.Parent.Save
End If
Next win
End Sub

It appears that this macro fails if you have more than one window open for the same workbook (ie, you go to view->new window). A way to modify the code to include this case would be helpful.

Attempting to run this code results in a 'subscript out of range' error.

Great tip. It worked fine.
Got a version of Excel that uses the ribbon interface (Excel 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the menu interface.
