SkyDriveExcel

I have already had spoken of Windows Live SkyDrive Microsoft, yesterday I received an invitation to access a "Technical Preview" of new features. The new features are very briefly a version of Office online (no browser).

For now only available Excel and Power Point, judging by the available shortcuts will also be available as Word and One Note.

I have used the 25 gigas Skydrive mainly for some backups and sharing files, had never looked at the Skydrive as a collaboration tool, I believe I'll have to revise my opinion. Although the first look into the spreadsheet from Microsoft I have seemed more limited than that of Google Docs, we are comparing a product that is not beta, with another mature product.

Only recommend Microsoft to organize a bit, because although many services available online, these are scattered, I believe that this case would look a good bit for example to Google, where easily access any service without having to search Google or Bing(!!!) the name of the service. For example would be an idea to take advantage for example Skydrive and create integration with Hotmail and other Microsoft services in order to have a really good collaborative tool and easy to use, because being good is not everything.

Unlock Excel sheets with Password

21, August, 2009

One of the features of Microsoft Excel is to block the publishing and access to formulas contained in a cell or a set of cells. I searched the internet for a way to change the so-called leaf protected, there are many alternatives but all paid.

I remembered to open the document with OpenOffice, and when I tried to access the protected cells received an error message "Can not change protected cells."

And to my surprise when I sent unprotect the document OpenOffice did not ask me any password nor gave a message and the document was left unprotected, leaving all the unlocked cells, with the formulas set.

Just go to "Tools" --> “Proteger Documento” –> and get the stamp of "Leaf ..." and just to break the security of Microsoft Excel file I tested was the version of Office 2003.
