Default Protecting the spreadsheet from being copied


Hello,

I have a spreadsheet as a Shared read-only to other
viewers, but I do not want anyone making copies of it. Is
it possible to have the spreadsheet protected from users
saving copies?

Thanks!

Default Re: Protecting the spreadsheet from being copied

I don't think excel was made for this kind of security. Almost any solution
would involve some macros and the users could just disable the macros to avoid
the code.

And just stopping users from copying via windows explorer would be pretty
impressive.
