How do you password protect a work sheet?

RE: Excel training

Hi Jean

To protect the contents of an Excel worksheet you do the following:

1. In the Tools menu, Select Protect
2. Click Protect Sheet

A dialog box appears allowing you to enter a password (although this is optional)

3. Enter the password and click OK

4. A new dialog box will ask you to Confirm the password.
5. Re-enter the password and clickOK.

NB. This will protect the contents of that entire worksheet. This is because Excel protects worksheet cells that are "Locked"- and all Excel worksheet cells come locked as a default.

Hope this helps

Carlos

Excel tip:

Move data worksheet to worksheet

To move data from one worksheet to another, highlight the data.

Select and hold down the ALT key and position the mouse on the border of the selection until the mouse pointer displays four-headed arrows.

Drag the selection down to the destination worksheet tab.

When the arrow touches the tab, Excel switches to the desired worksheet. Now drag the selection to the correct position. Let go of the mouse and then the ALT key.

To copy data from one worksheet to another, select and hold down the CTRL+ALT keystroke combination and perform the steps above.
