Simulating the Microsoft Excel workspace
If you recently switched from Microsoft Excel to Quattro Pro, you may not be familiar with the Quattro Pro workspace. While there are many similarities between the two applications, you may find it easier to simulate the Microsoft Excel workspace. What the Microsoft Excel workspace does is position the Quattro Pro features until you are accustomed to working in Quattro Pro, including toolbars and menus items, where you would find the equivalent feature in Microsoft Excel. It also automatically saves to the Microsoft Excel format, displays sheets as numbers, and applies Microsoft Excel keyboard shortcuts to Quattro Pro features, allowing you to quickly find the tools you need to create Microsoft Excel compatible files in Quattro Pro.
In addition, you can display the Compatibility toolbar, which gives you immediate access to tools such as saving documents to Microsoft Excel and publishing to HTML.
You can also change spreadsheet tabs in a Quattro Pro notebook to adopt the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet naming convention.
