Preventing right click and printing of EXCEL spreadsheets saved as webpages

[Marcello do Guzman]

I have saved several financial projections as webpages so that I can
show clients samples of my previous work. However, unlike a webpage
where you can block the right click function and even printing of the
webpage using CSS code, I have not been able to figure out how I can
do the same for an Excel spreadsheet saved as a webpage.

The other thing I noticed, when I open an Excel spreadsheet saved as a
webpage, that it does open it in Frontpage, but in Excel. I would
like to be able to view an Excel spreadsheet saved as a webpage so
that I can see the HTML code like you do when you click the HTML tab
to view the HTML code for a regular webpage.

If anyone knows how I can view the HTML code for an Excel spreadsheet
saved as a webpage, please let me know.

Thanks,

You cannot prevent the printing of a web page using no-right-click
scripts or CSS.
Simply turn off CSS support in the browser, and use the print button
on the toolbar is one of many ways to get round that.

An Excel spreadsheet saved as a web page is a web page. It has all the
attributes and problems associated with any other web page, whatever
the editor that created it.

To open the spreadsheet in FrontPage (assuming it has been saved as
HTML from Excel) use, in FrontPage, Tools->Options - General Tab
and uncheck the box "Check if Office is the default editor for pages
created in Office."
