title: Creating a new Excel File in pywin32
body: <p>I'm writing a program that, summarized, takes a notepad file and saves it as a excel file.</p>
  
  <p>Right now my program opens up a blank excel file I have created, just "Book1.xls":</p>
  
  <pre><code>xlApp = Dispatch("Excel.Application")
  xlApp.Visible=0
  xlWb = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(file_path+"/Book1.xls")
  workBook = xlApp.ActiveWorkbook
  sheet = xlApp.ActiveSheet
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and it uses <code>Book1.xls</code> to write into and format as is required, then saves it as another file name using</p>
  
  <pre><code>workBook.SaveAs(new_file_path+'/UpdatedSheet.xls')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to know how to simply create a new excel file to write to, then save as a file.  Without the need of having <code>Book1.xls</code> already created in a specific directory.</p>
