On my current Workbook I would like to insert anywhere from 1 - 10 extra
worksheets, but I notice that when I do the "insert worksheet" they are not
always consecutive. I am finding that I have to drag them back to the place
where I want them to appear originally.

Thanks!

Lady-Pearl,
When you ask to insert a worksheet, it asks if you want if to be 'in front
of which?"
Look for that button...

I think you see that when you move or copy a worksheet--not when you insert.

Right you are, but I just tried and if you put your pointer on one and click
to insert, the new one always comes just before it, not after. Maybe you
could position it that way.

Even inserting from the Insert|worksheet will insert before the activesheet.

I think if the OP wants more control, a macro would be in order.

I'm kind of new to macros - how would you go about using one for this?

You could use a macro like this:

Option Explicit
Sub InsertWorksheets()
Dim HowMany As Long
Dim iCtr As Long

HowMany = CLng(Application.InputBox(Prompt:="How many?", Type:=1))

For iCtr = 1 To HowMany
Worksheets.Add after:=ActiveSheet
Next iCtr

End Sub

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm

Then to run it, you can just:
tools|macro|macros (or alt-F8)
select InsertWorkbooks and click run

The workbook with the macro in it needs to be open.
