Excel Can Read to You
Customize Quick Access Toolbar. From All Commands, add Speak Cells or Speak Cells on Enter to QAT. Select cells. Press Speak Cells.
You cannot protect or unprotect sheets in a shared workbook. Additionally, Shared Workbooks are notoriously unreliable and I'd recommend you avoid them if at all possible.

Not without unsharing the workbook, changing the protections and reprotecting it.

That requires protecting and unprotecting the sheets, which you can't do.

Oh..! is there any other ways to make a sheet read only in shared file?

What is the use of [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]ActiveWorkbook.UnprotectSharing[/FONT]
