12.2. Large Worksheets

You are reading a book. The information in the book is chopped up and presented one page at a time. Imagine what this book would be like if it were printed on one big sheet of paperthe whole book on a single page. It would not work well for a book, and it doesn't work for spreadsheets either.

It is easier to page then it is to scroll. With paging you go to the right place; with scrolling you look for the right place. Even if the project is large, like a budget or staffing model, it can be broken down into several small easily viewed sheets.

Scrolling and split screens work, but they are inefficient and in most cases it is best to present information in screen-size pieces, like the pages of a book.
