How secure is the "lock cells" function?
My task is to send an excel document with importatant information that
shouldn't be changed to an external viewer. I wonder how secure it is to lock cells/documents in excel compared to for example make a pdf-file with Acrobat Adobe? Is it easy for someone to go "behind the scene" and change the code in order to unlock the cells? |

If the recipient does not need the spreadsheet functionality to change
numbers or play "what if", it would be far better to send a PDF document. Cutepdf is a free pdf writer. www.cutepdf.com -- Carlos "The rose" wrote in message ...
