Default Tracking many ledgers in Excel?

THANK YOU! Now for a really stupid question:

Where do I put his coding?

I'm to new to this to understand that much. 2007 has me a little thrown as
well, however I'm trying to adapt.

Take a look here for your first question:

This will give you help on building a table of contents and therefore
eliminate the need to find:

This helped a lot. Some of what I don't know is lack of experience, however
I'm getting better. I do have some other quesitons:

1) Can I alphabatize my worksheets?
2) Can I search for a worksheet through "Find"? (not a cell)

Looking at your second question first, try this: Right-click on those
little scrolling arrows. Any of them. This displays a list of all the
sheets in the workbook. If the last item in the list is "More", click on
that. That will display a scrollable list of all the sheet names. Click on
a sheet name and that sheet will be selected.
Now your first question: I don't understand your question. Why can't you
make the headers the same? What are the headers? Provide a bit more detail
about what this "task" entails. It sounds like it's something you can do
with VBA, but more details from you are needed to understand what the
problem is. HTH Otto

I am a teacher that has to keep track of 150 student ledgers. Is there a
way
to get Excel to do the following? (2007):

1) I cannot seem to make all the headers/footers the same from worksheet
to
worksheet in the same book. Due to turnover (about 30+ students a year),
it
is not a task wirth undertaking to "reheader" every 150 ledgers.
2) Find worksheets once I label them with student's names (using the
"Find"
search). Trying to scroll with the little arrows is not easy with that
many
worksheets.

If there is a different MS program that will acomplish this better, please
let me know. There are programs made for this, but all costing several
hundred dollars. I'm hoping that Excel can do what I need it to do.
Please
help!
