Various kinds of sheets are possible, for instance a regular sheet (containing values and formulas), a chart sheet (➜7.1.1), or a macro sheet. The default file extension of worksheet documents is “XLS”. General structure of a worksheet document: Worksheet document Sheet 2 Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel. 10
2.1 Document Types 2.1.3 Workbook Document Definition: Workbook document A workbook document contains several sheets. It is possible to combine sheets of all types into the workbook, for instance regular sheets, chart sheets (➜7.1.2), macro sheets, or Visual Basic modules. Each workbook document contains global settings for the workbook, called the workbook globals. The default file extension of workbook documents is “XLS”. ! General structure of a workbook document: Note the difference: A sheet is part of a worksheet document as well as a workbook document. A workbook document containing only one sheet is possible, but it is still called a workbook document. Workbook document Sheet 3 Sheet 2 Sheet 1 Workbook globals 2.1.4 Workspace Document ! ! Definition: Workspace document A workspace document contains links to several worksheet and/or workbook documents. It stores the file name, window size, and window position of each document that is part of the workspace. The default file extension of workspace documents is “XLW”. Note the difference: A workbook document contains several sheets, but a workspace document contains links to worksheet or workbook documents that are stored in several files. No rule without exception: A workspace document written by Excel 4.0 is in fact a combination of a workbook document and a workspace document: It may contain links to worksheet documents, and embedded sheets that are loaded from an existing worksheet file or created from scratch. The workspace document contains the complete data of all embedded sheets. General structure of a workspace document: Workspace document Link to worksheet/workbook document 1 Link to worksheet/workbook document 2 Link to worksheet/workbook document 3 Worksheet or workbook document 1 Worksheet or workbook document 2 Worksheet or workbook document 3 The detailed structure of workspace documents is described in chapter ➜10. 11
