how do I rename a sheet
aargh...All I want to do is rename an open sheet so that it reads English9
rather than Sheet 1....easy enough, one would think. I right click on the tab, type in the text. First time I did this, it was renamed as ..xls]English9. I tried again as I didn't like the .xls] in front of my chosen title. Now I am stuck. The message I get states that I have entered an invalid name, that it must be 31 characteres or less, certain forbidden symbols, etc. I can't save the spreadsheet, or work on it, until I can resolve the name issue--It won't let me do anything. please help |

If so then click on it to rename and when it highlights the name, hit the delete key. This should clear the field and allow you to type a new name. gls858 |
