I need to execute the following steps to make my boss happy:

1. Open a new spreadsheet

2. Copy spreadsheet A from cells A1 to C7

3. Paste this in the new spreadsheet in cell A1

4. Copy spreadsheet B from cells B1 to C7 (note that we did not copy rows 1 and

2 again—​since these are part of the header)

5. Paste this in the new spreadsheet in cell A8 (note that the row has now ad­

vanced to 7 in the new spreadsheet)

6. Copy spreadsheet C from cells B1 to C7

7. Paste this in the new spreadsheet in cell A13 (note that the row has now ad­

vanced to 12 in the new spreadsheet)

8. Save new spreadsheet

9. Send to Boss via email
