A Simple Question - Password setting

[Pauline]

Hi there, I also use Office 2000 and had a look around my own system. Open
the worksheet you want to protect. Click File, Save As, with this box open,
look along the top to the right of the dialogue box, it says "tools", click
the arrow, it says "General Options". It gives you the opportunity to
password your file.

Hope this helps.

How can I set the password in Excel so that no one can view the contents?

I tried the password setting, and its only protecting from viewing.
I checked the help and its saying --tools->general options-->etc, But I
cannot find "general options" under tools menu.
I'm using MS Office 2000

Thanks,
Shafeek Khalidh

When you do File|Save As, you'll get a couple more options.

In xl2002 (and xl2k), there's a Tools option in the top right corner. (Then
there's a General Options sub category.)

In xl97, I think it was under Options (or General Options).

But it's not on the worksheet menubar Tools|options stuff. It's on the
File|SaveAs dialog.

I got it, I was searching in the tools menu in worksheet
