Digital Signatures in Excel 2007
Add a Digital Signature
What is a digital signature?A digital signature is another way to protect your Workbook, this is one of the easier protections to break, and all you need to do is remove the signature.
Why should I use it then?
If you need to prove to someone that the document has not been tampered with this will help you. Digital Signatures or Digital Certificates have specific information in them that can be checked to see when it was created.
Differences between Digital Signatures:
If you have not yet created a digital signature, or someone else has not created one for you, there are two types of digital signature that you can create.1. Free Digital signature
2. Paid for Digital Signature
What are the differences?
If you purchase a Digital Signature through a Microsoft Partner, other people will be able to verify that that is your Signature (Certificate). If you use the free version, others will not be able to verify that you signed the document unless they use the computer that the Signature (Certificate) was created on.
To create a Digital Signature:
1. Click the Office Symbol Button2. Hover over the Prepare Button
3. Click the Add a Digital Signature
a. A Dialog Box will appear
b. Here you can choose if you wish to purchase a Signature (Certificate) or use the free one.
i. By clicking the Signature Services from the Office Marketplace… you will be sent to the web and offered several options to purchase one.
ii. If you click the OK you can create your own.
4. After you click OK, you will be offered the choice of purchasing a Digital Signature or Create your
own.
5. Let us choose Create your own digital ID
6. Click OK
7. Another Dialog box will appear. The Dialog box will be titled Create a Dialog ID.
8. Fill in the information that you want to see when you look at the Digital Signature (Certificate).
9. Click the Create Button.
10. You will be asked to create a purpose for signing. You can use any reason that you wish.
11. Then Click the Sign Button.
12. You will then see a confirmation dialog. If you do not wish to see this dialog after you sign another document just check the setting Don’t show this message again.
13. Hit okay, this dialog box will disappear, and another dialog box will appear
14. A signature validation dialog will show at the right side of the spreadsheet and it will show the name of the signature.
a. You can hide the signature box by clicking the X in the right hand corner.
b. In the status bar at the bottom of the Workbook you will see a symbol that indicates the Workbook has been digitally signed.
c. If the Valid signature dialog box has been closed you can reopen it by double clicking this icon. There is another way to open the dialog box by clicking the office symbol, going to the prepare selection and clicking the View Signatures button.
15. The Digital Signature will do two things for you.

Restrict Permission in Excel 07
The restriction of permissions is similar to the Encrypt choice, with the exception that you need to sign up for this service through Microsoft. You have a free trial period and then Microsoft will start charging for the service. In the service agreement Microsoft states that they may retract the trial service before it officially ends and you will be given the choice of purchasing the service if you desire.
To start this you need to go to the Office Symbol, then Prepare and then Restrict Permissions. Once you hover over Restrict Permissions you will get a small dialog box that gives you three choices.
- Unrestricted Access: Anyone can read the document.
- Restricted Access: Only those with the correct credentials can read the document.
- Manage Credentials: You can change the credentials. If you choose anything other than Unrestricted Access you will get a dialog box that asks if wish to sign u for this service. Later on I will discuss another way to estrict access to the document.

Encrypt Document in Excel 07
The encryption of an Excel Workbook is up to you.
What does encryption do for me?
Good Question, encryption is a safeguard method that ensures the safety of your Workbook. The only people that can read your Workbook are those that have the password. If the password is not input correctly the document will not open, you will just get the Excel program with no Workbook.
Remember: that if you forget the password yourself there is little probability that you will be able to open your own Workbook. Even Microsoft says that if you forget your password there is no way of recovering it.
There are a couple of different ways to password protect your document, one is password protect to open, and the other is password protect to modify. The encryption method we are talking about now is password protect to open.
Let’s get started.
In order to use the encryption click the Microsoft Office Symbol, hover over the word Prepare and the Prepare menu will show. Click the Encrypt Document selection. Once you do this a dialog box will appear. Enter the password that you have selected.
Remember: do not forget the password or you will not be able to access your information.
After you enter your password click the OK button. Once you have done this another dialog box will open this will ask you to confirm your password.
Microsoft put this in as a measure to ensure that you have input the password correctly. If the two passwords do not match you will get a dialog box that states Confirmation password is not identical.
The passwords must be put in the same. If you used a combination of uppercase and lowercase it must be the same. As an example, PassWord must be PassWord in order to work. If you typed PassWord and then Password you will get the confirmation error dialog box again. It is the same if you use alpha numeric passwords.
Hint: Keep in mind that there is no way that Excel can be set to force the user to save the Workbook with encryption.
Remember: Even Microsoft says that there is no way to retrieve a forgotten password, so if you forget the password you will have to reconstruct the Workbook.
If you want to make sure that the Workbook has been encrypted you can check by going to the Prepare selection again. If the Workbook has been encrypted there will be an orange/gold color around the icon as shown in the example above.
You can also check other workbooks in the same way.
Remember: Even Microsoft says that there is no way to retrieve a forgotten password, so if you forget the password you will have to reconstruct the Workbook.

The Document Inspector in Excel 07
Document Inspector
You can inspect your document to see what kind of information is associated with your Workbook.1. Comments and Annotations
a. If you have used any collaboration tools (we will talk about these later) it will check for this information. Such as Comments, Track Changes.
2. Document Properties and
Personal Information a. Document properties also known as Metadata (Data about data. Such as the Author of the document, the date that the document was created, and the location on a computer or network that the document was created).
3. Custom XML Data
a. XML (Extensible Markup Language, a form of code that the newer versions of Microsoft Office use that is Human readable and Machine readable. It serves to decrease the file size and reduce the possibility of corruption of the newer files that are created.) There are some portions of this that the file does not really need for the operation of the file and it can be removed without degrading the file in any way.
4. Headers and Footers
a. Information saved in the Header and Footer Sections you can remove here.
5. Hidden Rows and Columns
a. If you have hidden Rows or Columns that no one should see if you are sharing the information in this Workbook this will remove these hidden items.
6. Hidden Worksheets
a. Much like the hidden rows and columns, although this will delete hidden Worksheets.
7. Invisible Content
a. These are invisible object that you may have; no one can see them because they have been formatted to be invisible. This will remove them for you if you want.
After you have run the inspection you will get a second dialog box that appears. This will give you the opportunity to decide if you want to remove certain sections. As seen in the photo below. You will have a Remove All button next to the sections that have found information in them.
Once you click the remove all you can also Reinspect the document by clicking Reinspect, or you can close the dialog box.
Hint:
Remember to save this workbook under another name otherwise you will lose all the information that you removed from your original Workbook. Then the only way to retrieve that information after it has been removed is to re-enter it in the Workbook.Friday, June 15, 2012

Save and Save As in Excel 07
Save
Save and Save as will act the same the first time that you save a brand new workbook. After that the Save button will overwrite the existing document without asking if you wish to do so.Save As
Will allow you to save a copy of the workbook anywhere you want to on your hard drive or network.Excel Workbook: saves the workbook in Microsoft Office 07 format. No previous version of Office can open this without downloading a patch.
Excel Macro Enabled Workbook: saves a Macro Enabled workbook in Microsoft Office 07 format. We will discuss what Macros are later.
Excel Binary Workbook:
Excel 97-2003 Workbook: saves a copy of the workbook in a format that Microsoft Office 97 to 03 can open. This is a good format if you have friends that do not have Microsoft Office 07.
The Adobe PDF choice is on my system because I also have Adobe CS4 installed.
OpenDocument Spreadsheet: saves a file that can be opened with Open Office, this is a freeware version of Office and can be downloaded at http://www.openoffice.org/ .
PDF or XPS: will allow you to save as an Adobe PDF file or an XPS file. The PDF file is more commonly used for downloads on the internet as they are smaller in size than an Office file. They also have the distinction of being a read only file so it is harder for people to modify this type of document. You may have to download the patch for this if you have not used this option yet. Of you click on this option it will automatically determine if you have used it before or if the patch has been installed. If the patch has not been installed it will send you to the download site. Save the patch to your computer and install it, and now you are ready to publish this type of file.
Hint: If you want to modify the file in the future remember to save it as an Office Document as well. If you do not then you will have to recreate this document.
