Quattro Pro files are known as NoteBooks. A NoteBook is a way of organising several spreadsheets of data with their graphs into a collective file, like pages in a binder. Each NoteBook has 256 spreadsheet pages, and the Objects page as its last page. Each spreadsheet page is a grid of columns and rows. The Object page consists of icons which represent each graph, slideshow and dialogue created in the file.

In this way, related data can be saved into the same file, with different spreadsheets on individual pages.

Moving Around the NoteBook

Click the Tabs at the bottom of the page to go to a different page, or press [Ctrl]+[PgUp]/[PgDown]. View the Object page by selecting the [View][Objects Page] menu item.

Alternatively use the navigation buttons at the bottom of the page where the last button goes to the objects page, the single arrow goes to the next page and the double arrow goes to the next view of the pages.

Alternatively select [Go To] under the [Edit] menu (or press [F5]) to go to a defined page.

Moving Around a Spreadsheet Page

Click on a cell to make it the active cell, or use the keyboard shortcuts. these are outlined at in Appendix A, or more details can be found by searching the help system for 'key'.

Alternatively select [Go To] under the [Edit] menu (or press [F5]) to go to a defined cell or block.

Selecting Cells and Blocks

Click on a cell to make it active.

Click and drag to select a block, or press [Shift] in conjunction with the keyboard shortcuts. Alternatively, press [F5] and write the name of a named block to select it.

Panes

Splitting the NoteBook window into Panes allows you to view different areas of the same page, or different pages of your NoteBook at the same time.

The NoteBook window can be split into panes by clicking and dragging on the panes button at the bottom right of the screen or select [Panes] from the [View] menu. Panes can be returned to normal by clicking and dragging back or by clearing them from the [View][Panes] menu item.
