Mailing an Excell sheet with OE

Hi guys.
As my heading said. I want to send Excell spreadsheets as an email using Outlook Express. At the moment when I email it, it arrives empty.

I've password protected some cells. I don't want to take the protection off as there is data I don't want anyone to changed.
I do need to email this sheet on occasions, as do others.

My question is. Can I send protected sheets without giving the password to out?

Thanks

 

With something like pdf995 installed, you would simply print your spreadsheet to a PDF file, then send the PDF instead of the spreadsheet. (Works with .DOC files, webpages, and others as well).

It's a simple-to-use "print-to-PDF" printer driver.

 

Thanks SD I'll have a look

 

You could also 'zip' the spreadsheet with winzip, winrar or even windows then send the zip file as an attachment that would be a usable spreadsheet.
-just an idea

 

Galan. Good idea if everyone had and knew how to use ZIP, but some of the people I email are less that computer literate.

Thanks for posting.

 

It may ask them if they want to unzip it? Or you could put a note in the e-mail that the file is zipped and needs to be unzipped. I know from XP forward that there was a zip program with the OS when it is installed.

 

Thanks MrBill, but I don't know if they have XP or not or even MACs

Arie, I think that news just stopped me in my tracks. I didn't know that.
Perhaps I need to think of a different way.

 

Most can open .PDF's, even on smartphones and tablets.

 

Just an update folks. Still working on this one.
PDFs are definately looking like the way to go.

 

Get yourself a free account with dropbox. Upload the file to the public folder and send a link in your email to the file. The recipient can then download it themselves.

 

Get it out of the email

I agree with using a cloud drive for sending the URL. I like Dropbox or SkyDrive for this.

 

Gave Dropbox a try. Unfortunately, the folks I send stuff to can't get their heads round using this method.

 

PDF files are universal.
