You might consider using tab colors to make your tab groups more
distinct.

The way the tabs work in Excel is not very efficient. It would
be nice if
you can create groupings for tabs in Excel so that each set of
tabs can be
placed in its own group. I'm currently working on an Excel
document that has
about 30 sheets. A lot of sheets are related in one way or
another (i.e.,
Aircraft A speed, Aircraft A acceleration, Aircraft B speed,
Aircraft B
acceleration). It would be nice to be able to group these in
some way so
that scrolling is no longer problematic and finding the right
tab becomes
faster and easier.

Hi Chip,

Coloured tabs are only available on the more recent versions of Excel (2002
and later). Not enough reason for me to upgrade <g.

Cheers

Some of us are color blind. :-)

Nearing release is my Excel add-in "Determine Colors". It adds a popup menu
to the cell right-click menu. It displays the cell color, font color, pattern color,
border color and the sheet tab color. (by name)
It may be of assistance to color blind Excel users. I am looking for comments
and feed back on the program. If you are interested, please email me and
I will forward it to you. Remove xxx from my email address.
