So far, I've concentrated on helping you enter information into a notebook, edit that information, and print it. We haven't talked much about notebooks yet. Notebooks are the files you save and open; each notebook can contain up to 18,278 spreadsheets, each represented by a lettered tab at the bottom of your screen. In this chapter, I'll show you how to create a new notebook and open a notebook you previously created. You'll also learn how to open and save an Excel or Lotus 1-2-3 file using Quattro Pro. And, you'll see how to rearrange spreadsheets in a notebook, and insert and delete spreadsheets. At the end of the chapter, I'll show you how to group spreadsheets and link notebooks. You can group spreadsheets laid out similarly to make editing easier; you also can link notebooks so that changes you make in one notebook update all linked notebooks.
