How to put an Excel file into read-only mode
There are many ways to set the read-only mode in Excel files, and even some read-only modes can also set passwords. Today, I will share how to set the read-only mode and password of excel files.
file properties
Right-click the file, view the file properties, and check the read-only attribute. When you open the excel file, you will be prompted that the file is in read-only mode.
File - Protect Workbook
Open the file function in the toolbar of the excel file, select Information - Protect Workbook - always open in read-only mode to complete the setting, and the bottom mark is finally able to play the role of read-only mode.
general options
Next is the read-only mode that needs to be set with a password. The first method is to save the excel file or save it as, and open the save path interface. We click Tools in the interface - General Options
Enter the excel password after modifying the permission password in the general option, and save it.
In this way, there will be a prompt box after opening the excel file, which is similar to the prompt for opening the password. We need to enter the password to edit the excel file.
protect sheet
Setting protection worksheets is an encryption method that everyone often uses. After setting protection worksheets, you can restrict excel files. When the editing function is grayed out, just click review in the toolbar - protect worksheets - set a password to complete the encryption
Protect Workbook
The steps to protect the workbook are the same as protecting the worksheet. The protected workbook is next to the worksheet, and you can also enter the password to complete the encryption.
The above is the setting method for Excel files to enter the read-only mode. I hope it can help everyone. If you encounter the problem of forgetting the password, you can use the unlock function in the OKFENG EXCEL Decryption Master, and you can cancel the protection without a password.
