I want to save the precedent arrows.

If you are working on a spreadsheet, you may want to save the precedent arrows to your xls file. When you rework on your file, you can continue where you were before.

 In Excel, we can do that with the Excel extension VisualCheck for Excel ( Influence charts: How to easily gain a powerful overview of your Excel spreadsheet model).

 Some buttons in VisualCheck draw a different version of precedent arrows and these can be saved to a file.
