I have MS Office 2003 and an Excel spreadsheet that I want to save as an
"xml", for use on my website but I want to password it so that anyone
viewing it online can't change anything.
When I select "Save" and then "Tools" (as I have been shown to do and it
worked for them!) and then "General Options", I get a dialogue box headed
"Save Options" but both "Password to View" and "Password to Modify" are
greyed out and I can't do anything with them.
I selected, instead, "Read-only recommended", thinking that this would
suffice but having saved the spreadsheet I re-loaded it and got the message
that the file should be opened as read-only "unless you need to save changes
to it. Open as read-only?"
I have a choice, then, of "Yes", "No", and "Cancel" so I choose "Yes".The
spreadsheet comes up and I can make all the changes that I shouldn't and
that I don't want others to make and then save it - complete with all the
changes (!), which is not what I want at all.
Can someone tell me, please, what is wrong?
