Can I arrange tabs vertically in Excel (not horizontally)?

I use a lot of tabs / worksheets in a spreadsheets and if I could view them
vertically (ie on the RHS of the screen) I could fit more tabs in!

Is there anyway to change this?

Otherwise, how does everyone else work with a lot of tabs? The problem is
that when the tab name is too long, that also takes away the tab space at the
bottom of the screen.
thanks everyone!
 
Have you tried using XL's built in "Sheet List"?

Right click on the small arrows to the left of the tabs.
This brings up a list of maybe 15 sheets, which you can expand to an
infinitely scrolling list of all the sheets in the WB.
 
See Ragdyer's response - it's about as good as you're going to get. In
direct response to your question, there's no option to align the sheet tabs
vertically.

Other option involves $$ and hardware solution: buy a wider screen and go to
as high a resolution as you can comfortably work with. Or change the zoom
level for the workbook to something lower than 100% or your current setting -
again how low you go is based on your ability to still read and use the
display.
 
Hi Gord

Contextures worked a treat!
COuldn't get to the browsheets macro at work because of email filters to
blogs etc.

This will definitely change my life!

Hi Gord

I asked Contextures to modify the toolbar so that it will sort the tabs as
well (previously the tabs had to be in order already).
Thought you might like to know! It's at the website with the same link below

Click to expand...

As you said,"The tab name is too long"
Make a TOC on the 1st sheet and just name the sheets 1,2,3 or a,b,c
and use the toc with a double click event (or hyperlink) to the sheet desired.
