Lesson 5: Managing Worksheets and Workbooks


How do you select multiple worksheets?

Certain actions are performed on the selected worksheet. For example, if you select Print, Print Preview, or enter data the action is performed on the selected worksheet. If multiple worksheets are selected, these actions are performed on each worksheet that is selected. To select,

One sheet – click the tab for that sheet

Two or more adjacent sheets – select the first in the series and then while holding the Shift key down select the last in the series.

Two or more non-adjacent sheets – select the first worksheet and then while holding the Ctrl key down select the others.

All sheets in the workbook – right-click on one of the worksheet tabs and then choose Select All Sheets.
