Protecting Spreadsheets
 

I've heard that if you protect your worksheet and e-mail it to someone it is
possible for this person to make a copy of it and paste it into a new
worksheet and be able to "see" all of your hidden columns and/or rows of
sensitive information. Is this true? Does it depend on which version of
Office you have? Is there a solution other than coverting it to a PDF?
Please help. Thank you.

The only good and safe solution is.................

If you don't want someone to see it, don't include it in the workbook.
