SUMMARY

This article describes how to import data from a Microsoft Excel 2000 workbook into Microsoft Works if the Excel 2000 workbook contains more than one worksheet.

Because you can only import one worksheet from an Excel 2000 workbook into a Works Spreadsheet file, you need to create a new Works Spreadsheet file for each worksheet in the Excel 2000 workbook.
