  • Someone asked this question some time ago but as far as I can tell, it wasn't answered. I have 2 computers, one with MS Works and the other with Open Office and both are unable to open the spreadsheet as it is password protected. Any solutions would be welcome.
  • someone posted that they had made a sheet in addition to this, but I can't find the post. Anyone know where I might find this?

    Thanks in advance,
    Lucy

    I'd like this too. I have OpenOffice. Just tried the link in tiff's post above and got the same message as landsker.
    Thanks in advance:)

  • Has anybody had any luck using Openoffice.org 2.0 yet? I've tried several versions of the spreadsheet and keep getting the same script message as above. Any help would be appreciated :D
    This is getting addictive! :D:eek:
  • hello

    this is my 1st post (so please bear with me!), i also use a Mac and im after a version of the budget planner, has anybody had any luck? (re bumping this thread)

    i shall try faithfully google and see if anybody else has managed to find a mac version..

    (wish me luck.....)
  • could you advise

    how to unprotect worksheet so I can change description

    allow the insert comment function to work so I can tell what lies behind the numbers

    allow the formula bar to be seen so I can see what combination of numbers make up the total

    sorry if this the wrong place to ask but the more info on there the more I will remeber what and why I included!
  • Hi,
    First visit, so please bear with me!
    Budget Spreadsheet is a fantastic tool. I just wish I'd discovered it earlier!
    Can you please advise if it is possible to receive the password for the file?
    I would like to add some comments, for example, itemise each item which makes up a category, for example Household Shopping.
    thanks on advance!
