Creating a Spreadsheet

When you start OpenOffice Calc from the main menu (Office->OpenOffice Calc), the window shown in Figure 12-1 opens.

Figure 12-1. OpenOffice Calc.

It opens with a blank spreadsheet, ready for you to enter content.

You can create a new spreadsheet at any point in OpenOffice, when you are in Calc or when you are in Writer, by clicking File and selecting New->Spreadsheet.

Each spreadsheet is created with three pages, or sheets, named Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3 by default. You can change the name of a sheet by right-clicking the tab for the sheet, at the bottom of the screen, and selecting Rename Sheet
