ABSTRACT:
A “new sheet button” is provided in a program, such as a spreadsheet, that utilizes a collection of tabbed sheets or a “workbook.” The new sheet button is located adjacent the sheet tabs so that a user may add a new sheet to the workbook with a single button press. The new sheet may be added to the end of the workbook or immediately adjacent an active sheet within the workbook, among other options. Selecting the new sheet button with a default operation (such as a left mouse click) adds a blank sheet to the workbook. Selecting the new sheet button with a non-default activation (such as a right-click) generates a menu listing options for creating the new sheet, such as copying the contents of the active sheet.
