When a thematic map is created, you are required to open a data file for the map. The data file does not need to displayed in a worksheet window to be used in a thematic map. However, if you want to view or edit the data associated with a map, you may open the worksheet window as follows.
1. Click the Home | Data | View command. A worksheet window is opened displaying the data for the thematic map. Notice for this tutorial, TUTORIAL.xls contains Primary IDs in column A, Population (1000's) in column B, and Land Area in column C.
2. To return to the map, click the Plot2 tab above the worksheet window.
