Datasheet

The only disadvantage to using the scroll bars to move around is that the
scroll bars bring only new sections of the worksheet into view — they don’t
actually change the position of the cell cursor. If you want to start making
entries in the cells in a new area of the worksheet, you still have to remember
to select the cell (by clicking it) or the group of cells (by dragging through
them) where you want the data to appear before you begin entering the data.
Surfing the sheets in a workbook
Each new workbook you open in Excel 2007 contains three blank worksheets,
each with its own 16,384 columns and 1,048,576 rows (giving you a truly stag-
gering total of 51,539,607,552 blank cells!). But that’s not all, if ever you need
more worksheets in your workbook; you can add them simply by clicking the
Insert Worksheet button that appears to the immediate right of the last sheet
tab (see Figure 1-7).
