Excel Worksheet

Microsoft Excel works as account ledger. An Excel Workbook could have multiple
Worksheets (2). A cell in Excel is referred by its Column and Row naming style (displayed
in the name box). A heavy border around a cell indicates that it is an active cell (3). Any
entry made at this point is made into the active cell, and any commands that are
executed affect the contents of the active cell. The active cell can be changed by clicking
a different cell, or using the arrow keys. An active cell reference is displayed on the name
box (4).
