Hi All,

I am wondering if somone can tell me how I can insert an Adobe Acrobat document into a excel worksheet then lock the sheet so it cannot be edited, but at the same time being able to open the document without being able to edit the icon. If I lock the sheet I cannot open the document, and if I unlock the object then I can open it but can also move the document around. I want to protect this.

thanks

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
