Excel/Office compatibility

[RS]

I am running Windows ME with Works suite 2000. When trying
to open Excel files(xls) my computer(Works Spreadsheet)
will only open 1 sheet of a particuler file at a time.
Should be able to scroll to sheet 2, sheet 3,... Instead I
have to close the open spreadsheet and re-open selecting
which sheet.1, 2, 3, or 4 etc... I believe in Excel you
can just scroll between seperate sheets of the same file
with out having to close and open the file. Any pointers?

Thanks in Advance,

RS

If it were possible to use the spreadsheet in Works just as if it were
Excel, how many people would buy the much more expensive Excel rather than
the much cheaper Works? It's a very bad idea ever to forget that Microsoft's
primary goal is revenue and profit maximization.
