I want to set up a workbook with multiple sheets. I would like the document
to open on an index page listing the worksheets the workbook contains. I
also would like to name the worksheets something besides sheet one, sheet
two, etc. I am a new user and am not very experienced but would like to
learn. Can someone help me please? I am using Microsoft Office xp
