Password protection

How do you protect a worksheet

RE: Password protection

Hi William

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

Excel tip:

Closing Multiple Workbooks quickly

When you have several workbooks open in Excel and want to just close them all at once:

1) Hold down the SHIFT key before selecting the File menu.

2) Once in File menu release SHIFT key and select Close All option.

3) All your files will close. If files require saving Excel will ask if you want to save the changes.
