Toggle read only
In the old excel, I put a "toggle read only" button on the task bar.
Clicking it made the current spreadsheet read only; clicking again made it read-write again. The new excel has the same icon, but it won't toggle. Clicking it makes the current spreadsheet read only; but clicking again, I get a message that the current file is locked for editing by another user. How can I get it to work the way it used to???? |
