Protect template

template i created is editable - how do i protect it so that noone can edit it?

RE: protect template

Hi Paul, Thank you for your post, welcome to the forum, in answer to your question, there will obviously be areas in your Worksheet/Template that you require users to complete; select these areas and go to the Menu command, Format>Cells and select the Protection tab, De-select the Locked tick box and click OK. You must now go to the Menu command Tool>Protection and choose the option Protect Sheet if you wish to apply a password at this point you can, save your Worksheet as a Template and you will notice that any attempt to change/edit/add entries will result in a warning message, however the cells which you unprotected are available for edit, I hope that has helped, best regards Pete.


 

Excel tip:

Transpose text

You can transpose any range of cells, turning the columns into rows and the rows into columns. Just follow these steps:

Select the range.

Click the Copy button on the Standard toolbar to copy it to the Clipboard.

Select a cell outside of the range you copied.

Select Paste Special from the Edit menu.

In the Paste Special dialog box, click Transpose, then OK.
