OS X :: Password Protecting Excel Document In Office 08 Mac
Aug 11, 2009
How do I do it? I want the document to require a password to open. I did the tools-->protection--protect workbook/sheet thing but that didn't do it, the document could still be opened, just not edited. I have a budget sheet with all of my online account passwords I don't want accessible if the computer gets stolen.
While they seem perfectly able to password protect a folder, this folder seems far from secure. In each case, the folder itself is not accessible without entering the password, but the files are visible in the finder under "recent documents".
I was hoping for a program that could securely protect these documents from casual viewing (including the "search for" section of the finder bar) while being relatively user friendly. I don't care about encryption.
I recently purchased my first Mac Book Pro. I generally have content on my laptop which I would like to keep password protected. I use Disk Utility and create a new .dmg file, encrypt it and then password protect it. It will make a new virtual drive in which i can add my files, folders etc. and once ejected, it can't be accessed without entering the password. All was good, untill i realised that I cant delete that Virtual Drive ever. As in. if i just delete the .dmg file from finder, then that file is deleted but at the same time that space from the hard disk is lost. I can't recover it. I tried erasing the disk from the Disk Utility, but it kept recreating it.
I made a new virtual disk on my external hard disk and then moved the .dmg to the trash, but the 3 GB that i had used to create that Virtual Disk was gone and absent. It still shows free space as watever -3GB. What did i do wrong? what is the right way to delete those virtual drives.
I am trying to figure out how to embed a pdf file into an excel spreadsheet for work. I keep having to wait for someone with a pc to do it for me and its driving me crazy.
I forgot my administrator's password for my home computer. I purchased office 2008 for mac with a free upgrade to office 2011. I upgraded it to 2011 when it came out (late 2010/early 2011). I have since made a new password and forgotten what it is. The mac tells me to reinstall my microsoft office but when I do, with the office 2008 disc, it tells me I have MORE RECENT SOFTWARE and to use that. I did it on line and cannot find it again.

Since the last OS X update (yesterday), I am unable to print any document in Excel or Word (2004 or v11.6.2). The print window does not open. It opens in Excel (2011 or v14.0) or any other app.

Problem: I don't have my old Excel (or at least I can't find it). I do still have my old copies of Office 95 for PC but that doesn't seem to open it either. Probably because back in the day, it wasn't directly compatible. What I need is to be able to open this file in something and get it converted to OpenOffice, Office X or Office 2003.
has anyone had an issue with office mac 2011 excel and osx lion? i make excel spreadsheets with pdf storyboards on them, and too often the excel file will not reopen. instead i get a corrupt file notice. i choose fix file and the file opens without the pdf files. sounds like a pdf/excel issue to me. it is maddening.

The planned mid-January release of Office 2008 offers a significant overhaul of the productivity suite's look and features.
The previous segment described new features in Word 2008, with some comparisons to Apple's Pages 08. This article examines what's new in Excel 2008 and contrasts Microsoft's oldest application to Apple's newest: the Numbers 08 spreadsheet included with iWork.
I've seen conflicting information about the new Office Mac release. Have Macros been restored to Excel? And if so, what language are they using? Has anyone tried them or tried to import Macros from Excel 4 or Excel 5 macro languages?
Does anyone know how to set the Excel (2008 version) toolbars at top of app to remain as a saved preference? I've tried everything and when I quit Excel and re-open, everything I've changed about the toolbar view is gone and I'm left with nothing. It wasn't like this all along, and somehow I ended up this way.

My daughter has been using Microsoft Office for Mac 2008 and lately it crashes repeatedly. There is one document that consistently will do this, and it is important for her to keep. It can be opened in Pages, but she insists on wanting to use Word.
I have office loaded on my Mac. I work with a variety of spreadsheets and different applications like Open Office, Access, Excel. Most of my data comes from applications on the PC side. When using Office for Mac, I open a new Excel spread sheet and copy and paste data from one of the other applications. So I have a column of dates in Open Office, I copy the date column and paste into Office for Mac Excel.
When I do this the dates change by plus or minus 4 years. So if I move data labeled 10/8/2010 when I paste it into Office for Mac Excel I get 10/8/2014 or 10/8/2006. Sometimes I even get a different month or day along with the plus or minus 4 years on the year. When I move the data into Office for PC Excel I don't have the problem. The dates copy over just fine. I am not using date formulas or functions. It is simply dates put into the column that I am trying to copy into a single spreadsheet.
Does anyone know if you can label axis in excel 2008? I know before SP1 it couldnt be done, just wondering if anyone has come across this in the to SP1? Or it can be done already? Because its pretty useless for me without that feature!
After upgrading to Lion, I can no longer see the text in my word documents or excel worksheets. I know the text is there because it appears in the formula bar - it just isn't visible in the cells. I can also see the text if I quickview the excel files. In the word documents, all I can see are the pictures/images...no text. Weird. I have the latest version of Office 2008 and Lion OS.
If i create a document using word or any other office program on my mac can i open and change the document on a windows computer with office and vice versa?
