By "someone else" do you mean anyone else but yourself or a specific "someone"?

It would be simple enought to wipe out the formatting by VBA code if the
"someone" was identified as the workbook opener.

Or you could wipe out the formatting in a copy you distributed to "someone"
before you send the copy.

Post back with details.

Is this possible...

I have a formatted documnet that I distribute with variable column/row
sizes, gridlines off, colors, boxes etc etc. Is it possible that
someone else could open that document and and see the same document but
in an UNFORMATTED view. I didnt think that this was possible, but wanted
to see if anyone else has had this problem.

Thanks
