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

Carlos

Excel tip:

Finding your worksheets quickly

The arrows to the left of the worksheets are used to move between one sheet at a time or first / last worksheet, but if you right click on the arrow buttons it gives you all worksheets in your workbook.
