Spreadsheet security
 

Someone recently asked (on one of these NGs) how to hide a spreadsheet. One
way would be to set background and text to white which will leave a white
sheet. This wouldn't rate highly for security but it may just put off a
casual browser and fiddler of spreadsheets.

But just selecting cells will show it!

Which is why I say it wouldn't rate highly for security.

Nothing in Excel rates as highly secure. Isn't it best to tell people that
rather than give them bad options?

I would say that Excel security doesn't rate highly, that suggestion doesn't
rate at all IMO
