If you expect to share your Excel workbook with other users, then it makes sense to hide all personal and confidential information, check the document for errors, and protect the workbook in one of the possible ways. How to do all this, you will learn from this lesson.
Spellchecking
Before sharing an Excel workbook, it can be helpful to check it for spelling errors. I think many will agree that spelling errors in a document can drastically damage the author’s reputation.
- Amin'ny tabilao mandroso famerenana anaty vondrona tsipelina baiko an-gazety tsipelina.
- Hisy boaty fifampiresahana hiseho tsipelina (in our case it is ). The spelling checker offers suggestions for correcting each spelling mistake. Select the appropriate option and then click the button mpisolo toerana.
- When the spell check is complete, a dialog box will appear. Click OK to complete.
If there is no suitable option, you can correct the error yourself.
Missing errors
The spell checker in Excel does not always work correctly. Sometimes, even correctly spelled words are marked as misspelled. This often happens with words that are not in the dictionary. It is possible not to fix the incorrectly specified error using one of the three available options.
- Skip – leaves the word unchanged.
- Alefaso daholo – leaves the word unchanged, and skips it in all other occurrences in the workbook.
- Add to dictionary – adds the word to the dictionary, so it will no longer be flagged as an error. Make sure the word is spelled correctly before choosing this option.
Document Inspector
Some personal data may automatically appear in an Excel workbook. By using Document Inspector you can find and delete this data before sharing the document.
Because the data deleted Document Inspector is not always recoverable, we advise you to save an additional copy of the workbook before using this service.
How the Document Inspector works

Workbook Protection
By default, anyone with access to your workbook can open, copy, and edit its contents, unless it is protected.
How to protect a book

- Select the most appropriate option from the drop-down menu. In our example, we have chosen Mariho ho farany. Team Mariho ho farany allows you to warn other users about the impossibility of making changes to this workbook. The remaining commands provide a higher degree of control and protection.
