Does anyone know what is the proper way to refer to an Excel file? It was
always my perception that when referring to an entire file, one would use
the term "spreadsheet", and within that spreadsheet are many "worksheets".
Upon reviewing my Microsoft Manual of Style, I see that they say *never* to
refer to the document created by a spreadsheet program as a spreadsheet.
Spreadsheet is the program, worksheet is the document.
So then, what if I need to say..Open the x worksheet in the y.xls worksheet?
In other words how do you refer to one of the tabs within a larger file?
Suggestions?
Thanks!
