Hi!

I am looking for a simple multiple sheets Editor that could deal with multiple sheets within a file (like Excel) but that would be a simple GUI-texteditor. Does such a thing exist ?

Thanks.

Simple text files do not have multiple sheets, so I don't understand your problem. Do you have a certain file format in mind? Is LibreOffice Calc what you are looking for?

Well, that's exactly my problem or the object of my question: I am wondering if there is such editor with multiple sheets.

I don't want any calculation programm. I want an editor, very plain, very simple, but I fancy multiple sheets for the organization of the information. I am tired to scroll down everytime to get at the bottom of the page. If I had multiple sheets then I would have little text on each page. I make some vocabulary lists and the text becomes quickly very long but the use of LibreOffice Calc would not be a satisfying solution: it would be uneasy because you have to deal with so many parameters (like formattings) that I do not need. With an Editor I can copy and paste without paying attention to formatting. I don't want to use a calculation programm (such as LibreOffice Calc) because It is too heavy for the use I have. I want something with no Formatting such an editor.

I have an idea, but probably completely misunderstood....
So using a text editor (like notepad++ or geany) you can specify paragraphs and collapse parts of text and/or you can jump to next/prev paragraph

I'm not aware of one.

Depending on the numbers I would try one of two things:

• Put each sheet in a file and place them all in one directory.
• Use a programming editor and either use text marks or something similar to quickly navigate through the sheets. (I also like the idea of collapsible sections.)

Or use a word processor and either use the navigation button or put a contents list with links at the top.

Libreoffice's Calc

it will open and use multi sheet spread sheets

or
GOffice
or
OpenOffice
or
Koffice

The idea is nice but I would have to jump everytime to the correct paragraph. The advantage with sheehts is that you may remain in the same sheet after switching off the computer.

The problem with all those programs is that they are muc more "heavy" that simple editors. So when you start the computer, you have to start the calc programm whereas the editor remains opened after new start ans is immediatly available and doesn't care about formatings.

Using links would be too much of a luxurious solution! I need something more simple because the list grows daily and I do not want to spend anytime with it.

No, I do not think so. vim for example will remember the position and return to the same line when you open that file again.

you are rather limited on reading a formatted .Xlsx, or .ods or.xsc or.uos spread sheet

just try to open a .xlxs file in emacs or vi

you can export them from OO or Lo as a pdf and them use Okular to read them



well if you do not care about formatting
use hexedit or okteta
and edit them with a hex editor
