TOPIC

    Translating a document using the XTND Translator for Microsoft Excel 3.0 or Microsoft Excel 4.0 may display an empty spreadsheet. This result is expected if the Excel document was protected with Excel's sheet or workbook protection.


DISCUSSION

    In order to display the content of an Excel sheet or workbook, it must not be protected with a password when it is opened by AppleWorks.

    If an Excel spreadsheet document is protected with a password, and then opened with AppleWorks, it will display as an empty spreadsheet. To make the data appear, the spreadsheet must be saved from Excel with the workbook and sheet protection disabled.

    Explanations of steps to turn Excel's protection on and off, is offered by Microsoft.
