Ch.18--"Shared Workbooks"

Chapter 18 involves shared workbooks. Shared workbooks are used in situations when several people need to work in a workbook at the same time. To share a workbook you go to the tools tab and choose share workbook and you check the box that allows the workbook to be worked on by others. Track changes in these shared workbooks are also a useful thing to have on shared workbooks. To start track changes open the tools menu and choose track changes, and then select highlight changes. You can add who can see the chances and where and when.

The first project wants you to create a shared workbook for GMRE Real Estate. So you open the document, save it and make it a shared workbook. I created three additional shared workbooks and one of those three is going to be the final workbook, the merged. I made the changes to the workbook that it wanted me to do. I saved those three and closed them and left the merged one open. To merge the workbooks you have the merged workbook open and go to tools and choose merge workbooks. You then choose what workbooks you want merged. To choose a lot at once click one while holding the shift button and click the last one you wish to merge. It selects everything in between. The second project is something I have done before. It wants you to password protect the document. To protect it when you save it hit the tools button then general options and type in the password you wish to have it saved under.
