I have an excel workbook that contains several worksheets and I would like it to always open with a specific worksheet that contains instructions on how to complete the spreadsheets. Does anyone know if this is possible?
 
Not without macro. Workbook opens with sheet active on saving.

Maybe you could put a hyperlink to your instruction sheet in cell A1 of all sheets. Not the solution asked for but could encourage the user to go there - especially if you format to draw attention to the link.

If you're comfortable at all, or willing to try, I'd suggest setting it up via a macro. Follow combo's link if you want to get help on getting that setup. It's VBA programming in Excel.

Although this is not the macro/vba forum if you want to have the sheet selected on open put this code into a module in vbe

Sub Auto_Open()
sheets("Sheet1").select
End Sub
