Creating and opening notebooks
When you start a new spreadsheet in Quattro Pro, you must first create a notebook. You can create a notebook from a list of project templates or from the default template. Project templates prompt you for data and then format and calculate it automatically. When you create a notebook from the default template, you must format the data yourself and perform your own calculations.
For information about using project templates, see “Working with project templates.”
You can also open a notebook.
You can customize the start options to automatically open a specific notebook every time you start Quattro Pro. For a complete list of custom start options, see “Using startup switches.”
