in the current sheet from being modified. Choose Tools - Protect Document - Sheet to open the Protect Sheet dialog in which you specify

|
Unprotected cells or cell ranges can be set up on a protected
sheet by using the Tools - Protect Document - Sheet: |
|
On the Tools
- Protect Document - Sheet menu, activate protection for the
sheet. Effective immediately, only the cell range you selected in
step 1 can be edited. |
|
To later change an unprotected area to a protected area, select
the range. Finally, choose the Tools - Protect Document - Sheet menu. The
previously editable range is now protected. |
|
Sheet protection also affects the context menu of the sheet
tabs at the bottom of the screen. The Delete and Move or Copy commands cannot be selected. |
|
If a sheet is protected, you will not be able to modify or
delete any Cell Styles. |
A protected sheet or cell range can no longer
be modified until this protection is disabled. To disable the protection,
choose the Tools
- Protect Document - Sheet command. If no password was set, the
sheet protection is immediately disabled. If the sheet was password
protected, the Remove
Protection dialog opens, where you must enter the password.
Once saved, protected sheets can only be saved
again by using the File - Save As command.
Password (optional)
Allows you to enter a password to protect the sheet
from unauthorized changes.
|
Complete protection of your work can be achieved by combining
both options on the Tools - Protect Document menu, including password
protection. To prohibit opening the document altogether, in the Save dialog mark the Save with password box before you click the
Save button. |
