Excel help

[BANGKOK RED]

I have an internet research job to do on universities.

The uni's that I have been asked to research have been sent to me on an excel file but the fucktard that sent them to has locked the cells so that I cannot copy them in any way but can only read them. This means that I cannot copy and paste into my browser and have to read, remember and type into my browser instead which I think will be quite time consuming.

Is there any way around this? Surely there must be a better way.

Incidentally, did you know that there is a university of zululand. Wait until you see the whites of their eyes boys!

Try tools, protection, unprotect workbook

Password protected and I don't know the password.

What a fucking botard.

[Ginginho]

Hmmm, I suggest you ask the fucking idiots to resend it unprotected.

Which also presents a problem as I can't reach the dumb fuck.

Try leaving the password field blank, or try "password".
Failing that, i'm sure there are ways and means of cracking excel passwords on the tinterweb.

Just make sure you virus check it, I haven't ever used it.

[Ginginho]

Yeah, I saw that too.
There is this one also, but you have to pay.
