Abstract

A cell navigation system is described that allows easy navigation to cells that are likely to be important to a spreadsheet user. The cell navigation system tracks each cell that a user visits and determines the importance of the cell to the user. The system adds important cells to a navigation list. The cell navigation system presents the list to the user as a tool for navigating to the important cells through a user interface. Thus, the cell navigation system provides the user with a quick and easy way of navigating through a potentially large spreadsheet or workbook of spreadsheets to get to those cells that are most important to the user.
