Spreadsheets are brilliant, you can use a spreadsheet to do anything basically.
Its very useful to be able to add a new sheet which is basically the equivalent of a new document on a tab.
The suggestion here is that the "new sheet" can be a text document format. So for example you could make the
first tab be a cover page, the second and third tabs be your spreadsheets full of data and calculations, and the fourth tab be a 27 page text document with commentary and instructions.

What the wise one said above me ^...hahahaha, since I've no
clue whatsoever what he said. I'm just following the leader. |

I think this goes in the wrong direction. I'd like a hybrid spreadsheet where every cell could contain an entire document, or even another spreadsheet, which itself could be populated with documents and spreadsheets, ad infinitum. Recursive spreadsheets. |
|
| |
For that matter, I also crave recursive post-it notes. Each post-it should be covered in miniature sticky notes, that can be re-arranged making the post-it into its own self-contained noticeboard. Recursive trello. |
|
| |
Couldn't this be achieved by printing out a word document and
spreadsheet and putting the papers in the order you want
them? |
|
| |
You can already put spreadsheets in word documents. |
|
| |
That's a lovely puzzle game. There is something infinitely appealing about recursion. |
|
| |
^True, looks intriguing. If recursion is a fundamental of universal structure, there has to be some sort of state change between scales. The larger has to be an emergent ghost of the smaller or for that matter, the other way may work as well. |
|
| |
Does data rely on attributes of presentation? Tying data to specialised presentation will limit the number of views. Universal access needs a ubiquitous base system, no matter how the colouring in is done. |

hmm, on first look, I like the general idea. I never used
one note etc, but it makes sense that you could integrate
office so that you could have a word doc, spreadsheet
and perhaps both of those feeding a powerpoint stack. All
these could be accessible from the tabs. Then, I thought,
well, that's just sort of moving the start menu up a little.
And for that reason the integration exists to an extent.
The disadvantage for me would be that for some reason,
on my shiny new PC, excel causes hard faults every few
minutes. I mean, they've had a while to get it right. |
|

If you want to achieve the same effect, well, Excel has
had enough mission creep that it's an OK text editor. You
have all the alignment options, font options, size, bold,
underline etc. You can just expand one cell to 1 page in
dimensions, set format to "text" and you're good to go.
There's even a spell check via: "review>proofing>spelling". |
