Password protection for workbook

Hi,

I have a documents at work, other colleague has put 2 layers of passwords to proect the workbook when you opens up the excel workbook. How do I change the second password on version 2010? or even remove the second password?

Many thanks

RE: Password protection for workbook

Hi Nam

If you know the passwords then you can change or remove them as follows -

1. Open the file entering the passwords
2. Select File, Save As.
3. Click Tools, General Option at botton left.
4. Change the second level 'Password to modify' or remove the black circles.
5. Click Save.

Hope that helps. More difficult if you don't know the passwords.

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
