how do you prevent someone from changing one of your documents?

RE: protecting sheets

In excel go to tools, protection and there you can protect the sheet or workbook. You can add a password if required or leave blank. If you leave blank then anyone can go in and take the protection off from the same menu. If you use a password they will have to know the password. In windows explorer you can right click on a file, choose properties and make the file read only from there.

Excel tip:

##### displaying in Excel

When you get a series of hash symbols (####) appearing in some of your cells in a spreadsheet, this can make you think that you've make some kind of mistake.

This is a common misconception - what this actually means is that the cell is not wide enough to fully display the content of the cell.

All you need to do to see what is actually in the cell is to widen the column that the cell is in.
