SUMMARY
If a published edition created by Microsoft Excel is deleted from the Finder level, that edition will be recreated upon launching the publishing Excel document. In order to cancel a publisher, the Cancel Publisher button must be clicked after bringing up the Update Edition dialog which refers to the published edition. The Update Edition dialog can be accessed through the File Links menu command, or by double-clicking the published area within Microsoft Excel.

After canceling a publisher, the edition can be deleted from the Finder and will not appear when subsequently loading what was previously the publishing document.

To Cancel a Publisher

 * 1) Load the publishing document into Microsoft Excel.
 * 2) Choose Links from the File menu.
 * 3) Click the down arrow to the right of the Link Type field and select Publishers.
 * 4) Highlight the appropriate publisher.
 * 5) Click the Options button (this brings up the Update Edition dialog).
 * 6) Click Cancel Publisher.

Note: Double-clicking a cell range that has been published to an edition automatically brings up the Update Edition dialog box, at which point clicking Cancel Publisher cancels the edition.
