Sharing workbooks

I want to share workbooks with others can you please explain how to do this

RE: sharing workbooks

Hi Jillian,

Thank you for your question.

You can share a workbook by using the menu command Tools and then selecting share workbook and then tick the checkbox that begins 'allow changes by more than one user...'

Then you can save the file to a shared network folder and everyone can then make changes to the file at the same time.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
