    A GPO to prevent users from setting a password on excel when locking cells ?


    Do Microsoft have anything official to do this via GPO either on prem domain or Azure ?


    We have had users go and protect cells and sheets with passwords and then either forget them or leave without anyone knowing ?


    Better still is there an official way to take ownership of these

    :)

    Locking down a pc to prevent a child ' hacking' it

    You need to password protect bios so your son cannot boot from an external device, making sure boot order is set so external drives are not top of list.

    I expect he is using the old trick of fooling OS into opening a command prompt by booting from an installation drive, and using sticky keys trick.

  3. How to set value of height or width of cell precisely? - ms excel Office 365

    I'm going to make labels for pasting in MS Excel Microsoft Business 365. I have version 1903 (compilation 11425.20228). But they should made precisely and perfectly.

    1. Now when I begin editing the height of cell in MS Excel I set the value on 15,3. Then I click OK the value is set on 15,5.
    2. When I set the value on 15,333 then is set on 15,25.
    3. When I write the value on 15,22222 is set on 15,25.

    The same applies with setting width of cell. I have no clue how to deal with or solve it.

    Can someone suggest me that how to do it?

    Excel itself set password to file

    Sorry, but Excel doesn't just password protect itself. It takes active confirmation steps to accomplish this. Not saying the file isn't password protected, just saying someone "had" to setup a password.

    And yes, I'm currently using Office 365.
