Operation Manual

These column and row headers form the cell references that appear in the Name Box on the
Formula Bar (Figure 90). If the headers are not visible on your spreadsheet, go to View on the
main menu bar and select Column & Row Headers.
Sheet tabs
In Calc you can have more than one sheet in a spreadsheet. At the bottom of the grid of cells in a
spreadsheet are sheet tabs indicating how many sheets there are in your spreadsheet. Clicking on
a tab enables access to each individual sheet and displays that sheet. An active sheet is indicated
with a white tab (default Calc setup). You can also select multiple sheet by holding down the Ctrl
key while you click on the sheet tabs.
To change the default name for a sheet (Sheet1, Sheet2, and so on), right click on a sheet tab and
select Rename Sheet from the context menu. A dialog opens allowing you to type in a new name
for the sheet. Click OK when finished to close the dialog.
To change the color of a sheet tab, right click on the tab and select Tab Color from the context
menu to open the Tab Color dialog (Figure 91). Select your color and click OK when finished to
close the dialog. To add new colors to this color palette, see Chapter 14 Customizing LibreOffice
for more information.
