workbook (Workbook)

This element is the root part of the workbook in SpreadsheetML. It defines the structure of the workbook:

• Sheets: represents the collection of worksheets in the workbook. The worksheet is the primary document that you use to store and work with data.

• Views: SpreadsheetML defines a collection of Workbook views that define basic window dimensions and position of the workbook. It also defines a collection of Custom Workbook Views that allow the end-user to define a series of rich views on their workbook data. Users can create more than one view of the same workbook without saving separate copies of the workbook.

• Properties: the workbook has several property collection that store basic workbook settings, such as the date system to use, file protection settings, calculation settings, and smart tag behaviors.

• Names: represent descriptive that represent cells, ranges of cells, formulas, or constant values.
