Tip of the Month:  Navigating Large Workbooks in Excel
 
In Excel, you can create a number of sheets (tabs) in a workbook (Sheet1, Sheet2, etc.).  Rather quickly, you get to the point where you no longer can see all the tabs in one view.  Of course, you can use the built-in tabs navigation buttons (lower left corner of Excel workbook), and go the next, previous, first, or last sheet.  Did you know there was a way to see all the sheets and be able to click on the one you want to work on?  Right-click the tabs navigation buttons and a floating list of all the worksheets in the workbook will appear!
