      I
        suggest you to take a look at the "Window > New Window" menu.
        It opens a new window for the current document, you can switch
        to different sheets in each of the window. You can resize each
        of the window and look at the contents side by side. It would be
        much easier if you have multiple screen monitors attached to
        your computer.

      Hi. My name
          is Matt. I use Calc a lot. I have a great idea. First, I
          usually modify my spreadsheets to improve them. They are
          complex. But I have a few versions of one type, e.g.
          "Schematic" which is a schematic of my solar generator
          installations which has tables that calculate power yields and
          wot not. One version is for large jobs, one for small jobs,
          one for single phase, one for 3 phase. It just saves me time
          to pull up the version most applicable to customise for a
          particular solar system. So when I modify one I modify the
          other versions too. Now, while I was copying blocks of cells
          and pasting them into other versions I also had to correct
          cross referenced cells to some of the formulas in other pages
          of the spreadsheet. So there I was clicking a cell, then the =
          and then I had to click the other sheet and click on the
          required cell. This back and forth from one sheet to another
          was awkward whereas copying from a separate spreadsheet
          altogether was easy as they were both on screen at the same
          time. So if more than one sheet of the same spreadsheet could
          be viewed side by side at the same time, it will make cross
          referencing cells between sheets a whole lot faster. And if
          desired, if more than one sheet is open at a time then perhaps
          the copy and paste will acknowledge the cells in the other
          sheet(s) and not try to ref the cells in the origin
          spreadsheet.
