EXCEL
Sheet Addition with Excel 97/2000
Office Tips edited by John Heenan, NOCCC - July 08, 2002
    For Excel 97/2000 users, if you need to add more worksheets to an existing workbook, don't worry, you can add worksheets without doing any harm to existing data, but here's one peculiarity:

    Let's say that your current workbook has three sheets. These sheets are named Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3. To add a new sheet that is to be named Sheet4. Right-click the Sheet3 tab and choose Insert | Worksheet. You'll get a new sheet named Sheet4, but it will appear between Sheet2 and Sheet3. Excel inserts a new sheet before the selected sheet. But you wanted it after Sheet3, right? So, use the left mouse
button to grab the new Sheet4 tab, then drag it to the right of the Sheet3 tab. You'll see an arrow appear to show you the new sheet placement. When you release the mouse button, Sheet4 will appear after Sheet3.
