How do you password protect a document?

RE: Protection
Hi Karen,
Thank you for your question.
Protecting a worksheet with password is only useful if you have locked a group of cells (usually the ones with formulae).
This is how you use it:
1) Since Excel by default locks all cells, you should select all the non-formulae cells > Format menu > Cells > Protection tab > clear checkbox "Lock" > OK
2) Select Tools menu > Protection > Protect Sheet > set a password > click OK
It is better if you test on a sample file first before you set it on your working file.
kind regards,
Katie Woo
