Default Can the tabs on an Exccel spreadsheet be shown in different colors

I have a workbook with about 50 worksheets. Can the bottom tabs be
color-coded, for easier usage?

Guess I'm out of luck. I'm using 2000. Right clicking was the first thing
that I tried, but with no success. Thanks for the quick answer.

Bernard

Color tabs were introduced with 2002(XP) version.

Hi, Matt-
Right click on the tab and select "Tab Color", then select the color of
your choice.

Thanks, Dave, but I'm using 2000. Apparently this feature didn't hit Excel
until later versions.

If you can't change the colors, I'd recommend making a 'table of contents'
sheet. You can add a named range to cell a1 of the sheet like "_toc" to make
it easy to get to. Someone posted a script a while back to make it easy to
set up too.

Hope this helps.
