CustomizingtheWorksheets
The Marketing Budget Worksheets are designed to make the process of creating marketing budgets and plans as easy as possible, even for those who have never used Excel. Therefore, certain restrictions, limitations, and protections have been designed into the product. If, however, you have substantial experience with Excel and would like to alter the worksheets to meet your needs, you can do so by "unprotecting" worksheets. WARNING: Working in an unprotected worksheet can potentially damage the product's functionality and integrity. Do not unprotect worksheets unless you have experience with and knowledge of Excel and Excel formulas! The Planning Shop will not provide technical support, replacements, or refunds for Marketing Budget Worksheet products that have been unprotected. Please review the License Agreement for further information.

ToUnprotectWorksheets:
1. 2. 3. Navigate to the worksheet which you wish to unprotect In Excel 2003 and Excel 2008 for Mac, go up to Excel's Tools menu and select Protection > Unprotect Sheet (no password is required). For Excel 2007, select the "Review" tab from the Ribbon, and then click the "Unprotect Sheet" (no password is required).

Once the worksheet is unprotected, you'll have free rein to alter the worksheet's appearance, formulas, and functionality. For more information on using Excel, see the Excel Help menu. If you would rather not make the changes yourself, The Planning Shop can provide customizations for you. Please contact us for rate information at [email protected].
