In my experience teaching MS products, we were taught to refer to the .xls
file as a "workbook" and the sheets within as "worksheets."

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".
