Is there a way to turn off the encryption of an Excel workbook?

Go to Tools-Options-select the Security tab and see what you have set, change
as needed.

Having the same problem...don't want to be prompted to increase security with
encryption/password for increasing security. Creating problems. THanks.

Menu commands have nothing to do with what is happening. When I go to close
the Excel 2007 file, it sometimes asks me if I "want to increase security by
converting to an office open XML format"., of which I don't want to EVEN be
prompted for this as I just want to close the file. How can we turn this
off? I think this is a programming issue.
? Its definately a pain.

Sorry........I thought you wanted to know how to get to ToolsOptionsSecurity

Did you look at the settings under Security tab for any clues?
