AskWoody LoungerI’m not sure, but even if you password protect the workbook, the hidden file can still be accessed. Just go to Format > Sheet > Unhide. So, I don’t think this solution would provide what you need.

AskWoody LoungerI just checked with our graphics/design division down the hall. They put together Flash presentations frequently. He indicated that you can put PowerPoint slides into Flash, but it doesn’t work to put Flash into PowerPoint.
Since I have never used Flash, I couldn’t tell if this is absolute, or just his experience in working with both programs.

AskWoody LoungerTools > Options > “Error Checking” Tab – there are several options that can be unchecked. I think this does it.

AskWoody LoungerI have faced this problem as well. Maybe I’m not understanding completely, but I think there could be an even greater problem. Isn’t the problem with the “bizarre” solution, that the font characteristics completely change- that is, the font begins to look like a mono-spaced font rather than the original?

AskWoody LoungerNot on a sheet, but on the Tool Bar for access to all sheets.
Go to Tools > Customize > Commands (tab). On the left select Edit, then on the right side of the screen, scroll down to the Find command (should look like binoculars). Drag that to the Tool Bar – any where you want – and release. The binoculars should appear. Close the Customize box. And you are set.

In the VBA Editor (F11)
Select Tools > Reference
Please check to see that the LAST REFERENCE (Microsoft Visual basic Extensibility 5.3) is checked
This is the supposed missing referense
