      <div class="title_division">Sheet Type 0</div>
      <p class="para_division">When the SHEET_TYPE = 0 option is used, parameter values are read from a single sheet. If the SHEET_TYPE is set to 0, the columns to the right of the index column can be formatted to allow additional options (up to 5). The options appear at the bottom of the Mold Base Management dialog.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Sheet Type 1</div>
      <p class="para_division">When the &nbsp;SHEET_TYPE = 1 option is used, parameter values are read from two spreadsheets. The first spreadsheet is the primary spreadsheet. The secondary spreadsheets are contained in the same spreadsheet file and are named to match the entries in the index column of the PARAMETERS section.</p>
      <p class="para_division">The parameter names and values are read from both the primary and secondary sheets and are displayed in the Mold Base Management dialog. When an index choice is made from the Mold Base Management System, the sheet name that matches the active index selection is read, and its parameter values and options are displayed in the Mold Base Management dialog.</p>
      <p class="para_division">If the SHEET_TYPE is set to 1, the index column is the only selection criteria for the mold bases from the first page. The options are read from the secondary sheets.</p>
