Nope, I plainly stated in post #8 above...
Quote:Unzip the file and open read-only in Excel.(emphasis added)
The file was made with and intended for Excel. It works as intended with Excel. It also works with LibreOffice Calc and OpenOffice Calc (both of these free solutions automatically open the file as read-only without asking for a password).
The file is password-protected for a reason (unwanted changes). In Excel, when you open it, just click the Read Only button and you're good to go.
