Why use multiple sheets?
Chapter 1 introduced the concept of multiple sheets in a spreadsheet. Multiple sheets
help keep information organized; once you link those sheets together, you unleash
the full power of Calc. Consider this case.
John is having trouble keeping track of his personal finances. He has
several bank accounts and the information is scattered and disorganized.
He can’t get a good grasp on his finances until he can see everything at
once.
To resolve this, John decided to track his finances in OOo Calc. John knows
Calc can do simple mathematical computations to help him keep a running
tab of his accounts, and he wants to set up a summary sheet so that he can
see all of his account balances at once.
This can be accomplished easily.
Note
For users with experience using Microsoft Excel, a Calc sheet is called
either a sheet or worksheet in Excel. What Excel calls a workbook, Calc
calls a spreadsheet (the whole document).
Setting up multiple sheets
Chapter 1 gives a detailed explanation of how to set up multiple sheets in a
spreadsheet. Here is a quick review.
Identifying sheets
When you open a new spreadsheet it has, by default, three sheets named Sheet1,
Sheet2, and Sheet3. Sheets in Calc are managed using tabs at the bottom of the
spreadsheet, as shown below.

Renaming sheets
Sheets can be renamed at any time. To give a sheet a more meaningful name:
• Enter the name in the name box when you create the sheet, or
• Double click on the sheet tab, or
• Right-click on a sheet tab, select Rename Sheet from the pop-up menu and
replace the existing name.
