Worksheet Window User Interface

To enter data in a worksheet, use the File | Open command to open an existing data file or choose the File | New | Worksheet command to create a blank worksheet. Data already used to create plots can be opened in the worksheet window with the Home | Data | View command. If data is currently loaded for an active layer, that data is displayed in the worksheet. If data is not loaded and there is a base map in the map window, the base map primary IDs are automatically loaded into column A of the worksheet. If the base map contains secondary IDs, the secondary IDs are entered into column B. The title of the worksheet window is the name of the loaded data file. If base map is displayed (without data), the worksheet name is Sheet #. When the worksheet window is active the menu bar changes to show the worksheet commands.

The components of the worksheet window are discussed below.
