How Do You Password-Protect Excel XML Documents In 2007?
Microsoft Excel is still the default standard for spreadsheet files. Many businesses and individuals use Excel to compute and keep track of sensitive financial information. Before you share a confidential document with co-workers or clients in Excel, it would be a good idea to lock it with a password that only you and the person on the other end know. Open the file you want to protect by double-clicking it. On a PC, in the menu bar at the top, go to “Review.” In the “Changes” group, select “Protect Workbook.” On a Mac, you will choose “Protection” and “Protect Workbook” from the “Tools” menu on the top bar. Check both the “structure” and “windows” boxes and enter your password in the “Password (optional)” field. Save the Excel spreadsheet. It is now password-protected.
