Creating a spreadsheet

To create a new spreadsheet, click on the New image\new.gif button on the toolbar or select the New command from the File menu. A new blank spreadsheet will be opened in the Spreadsheet window.

When you first open a spreadsheet, it is given a default page set-up. This means that the paper size and margins are already set for you. For the majority of spreadsheets, these settings will probably be what you want, but you might want to change them, for instance to give a large left margin on a document that is going to be bound (see Page set-up).
