SYMPTOMS
When you open a worksheet that was created in an earlier version of Works Spreadsheet, protected cells in the worksheet are no longer protected.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Works 6 and Works Suite 2001 no longer support cell protection in Works Spreadsheet.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, protect the entire worksheet. To do this, follow these steps:

NOTE: Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.


 * 1) On the File menu in Works Spreadsheet, click Save.
 * 2) In the Save As dialog box, type a file name in the File name box, and then click Save.
 * 3) Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
 * 4) Locate your Works Spreadsheet file.
 * 5) Right-click the file, and then click Properties.
 * 6) In the Properties dialog box, click the General tab.
 * 7) Under Attributes, click to select Read-only, and then click OK.

The entire worksheet is now protected. You cannot make changes to the worksheet unless you click to clear the Read-only check box.
