Saving excel sheets

How do you save something as read only so that no one else can rename your file?

RE: saving excel sheets

Hello Vicky

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

You can make a file read-only using Windows Explorer (i.e. Windows XP or Vista).

To do this:
1. In Windows Explorer, right-click on the file you wish to make read-only.
2. Select Properties.
3. Under Attributes, tick Read Only.
4. Click OK.

Now when the file is open, changes made to it can only be made by saving the file with a different file name.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Paste a web address into the hyperlink address field

If you copy a web address the only way to paste into the address field of the hyperlink box is to use CTRL + V. Right click paste does not work.
